+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ntp_gettime
+.Nd NTP user application interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/timex.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn ntp_gettime "struct ntptimeval *ntv"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The time returned by
+.Fn ntp_gettime
+is in a
+.Vt timespec
+structure, but may be in either microsecond
+(seconds and microseconds) or nanosecond (seconds and nanoseconds) format.
+The particular format in use is determined by the
+.Dv STA_NANO
+bit of the status
+word returned by the
+.Fn ntp_adjtime
+system call.
+.Fn ntp_gettime
+has as argument a pointer to the
+.Vt ntptimeval
+structure with the following members:
+.Bd -literal
+struct ntptimeval {
+	struct timespec time;	/* current time (ns) (ro) */
+	long maxerror;		/* maximum error (us) (ro) */
+	long esterror;		/* estimated error (us) (ro) */
+	long tai;		/* TAI-UTC offset */
+	int time_state;		/* time status */
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+These are understood as:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Va time_state"
+.It Va time
+Current time (read-only).
+.It Va maxerror
+Maximum error in microseconds (read-only).
+.It Va esterror
+Estimated error in microseconds (read-only).
+.It Va tai
+Offset in seconds between the TAI and UTC time scales.
+This offset is published twice a year and is an integral number of
+seconds between TAI (which does not have leap seconds) and UTC (which
+does).
+.Xr ntpd 8
+or some other agent maintains this value.
+A value of 0 means unknown.
+As of the date of the manual page, the offset is 32 seconds.
+.It Va time_state
+Current time status.
+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Rv -std ntp_gettime
+.Pp
+Possible states of the clock are:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -compact -width ".Dv TIME_ERROR"
+.It Dv TIME_OK
+Everything okay, no leap second warning.
+.It Dv TIME_INS
+Positive leap second warning.
+At the end of the day, an additional second will be inserted after 23:59:59.
+.It Dv TIME_DEL
+Negative leap second warning.
+At the end of the day, 23:59:59 is skipped.
+.It Dv TIME_OOP
+Leap second in progress.
+.It Dv TIME_WAIT
+Leap second has occurred.
+.It Dv TIME_ERROR
+Clock not synchronized.
