DESCRIPTION 34.sp \n(Ppu 35.ne 2 36 37The 38\f\*[B-Font]ntpq\fP 39utility program is used to query NTP servers to monitor NTP operations 40and performance, requesting 41information about current state and/or changes in that state. 42The program may be run either in interactive mode or controlled using 43command line arguments. 44Requests to read and write arbitrary 45variables can be assembled, with raw and pretty-printed output 46options being available. 47The 48\f\*[B-Font]ntpq\fP 49utility can also obtain and print a 50list of peers in a common format by sending multiple queries to the 51server. 52.sp \n(Ppu 53.ne 2 54 55If one or more request options is included on the command line 56when 57\f\*[B-Font]ntpq\fP 58is executed, each of the requests will be sent 59to the NTP servers running on each of the hosts given as command 60line arguments, or on localhost by default. 61If no request options 62are given, 63\f\*[B-Font]ntpq\fP 64will attempt to read commands from the 65standard input and execute these on the NTP server running on the 66first host given on the command line, again defaulting to localhost 67when no other host is specified. 68The 69\f\*[B-Font]ntpq\fP 70utility will prompt for 71commands if the standard input is a terminal device. 72.sp \n(Ppu 73.ne 2 74 75\f\*[B-Font]ntpq\fP 76uses NTP mode 6 packets to communicate with the 77NTP server, and hence can be used to query any compatible server on 78the network which permits it. 79Note that since NTP is a UDP protocol 80this communication will be somewhat unreliable, especially over 81large distances in terms of network topology. 82The 83\f\*[B-Font]ntpq\fP 84utility makes 85one attempt to retransmit requests, and will time requests out if 86the remote host is not heard from within a suitable timeout 87time. 88.sp \n(Ppu 89.ne 2 90 91Note that in contexts where a host name is expected, a 92\f\*[B-Font]\-4\f[] 93qualifier preceding the host name forces resolution to the IPv4 94namespace, while a 95\f\*[B-Font]\-6\f[] 96qualifier forces resolution to the IPv6 namespace. 97For examples and usage, see the 98\*[Lq]NTP Debugging Techniques\*[Rq] 99page. 100.sp \n(Ppu 101.ne 2 102 103Specifying a 104command line option other than 105\f\*[B-Font]\-i\f[] 106or 107\f\*[B-Font]\-n\f[] 108will 109cause the specified query (queries) to be sent to the indicated 110host(s)
