-README file for directory ./util of the NTP Version 4 distribution
-
-This directory contains the sources for the various utility programs.
-See the README and RELNOTES files in the parent directory for directions
-on how to make and install these programs.
-
-The ntptime.c program checks the kernel configuration for the NTP user
-interface syscalls ntp_gettime() and ntp_adjtime(). If present, the
-current timekeeping data are displayed. If not, a dissapointment is
-displayed. See the kernel page file in the HTML documentation in
-distribution for further details. ntptime will be built be if configure
-believes your system can use it.
-
-The jitter.c program can be used to determine the timing jitter due to
-the operating system in a gettimeofday() call. For most systems the
-dominant contribution to the jitter budget is the period of the hardware
-interrupt, usually in the range 10 us-1 ms. For those systems with
-microsecond counters, such as recent Sun and certain HP and DEC systems,
-the jitter is dominated only by the operating system.
-
-The timetrim.c program can be used with SGI machines to implement a
-scheme to discipline the hardware clock frequency. See the source code
-for further information.
-
-The byteorder.c and longsize.c programs are used during the configuration
-process to determine the byte order (little or big endian) and longword
-size (32 or 64 bits). See the configure scripts for further details.
-
-The testrs6000.c program is used for testing purposes with the IBM
-RS/6000 AIX machines. Bill Jones <jones@chpc.utexas.edu> reports:
-"I could not get a tickadj of less than 40 us to work on a RS6000.
-If you set it less than 40 us do so at your own risk!"
-
-The tickadj.c program can be used to read and set various kernel
-parameters affecting NTP operations. See the tickadj page in the HTML
-documentation for further details. tickadj will be built if configure
-believes your system can use it.
