.\"
.\" It has been AutoGen-ed November 21, 2016 at 07:58:50 AM by AutoGen 5.18.5
.\" From the definitions ntp-wait-opts.def

.Sh NAME
.Nm ntp-wait
.Nd Wait for ntpd to stabilize the system clock
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm

.Op Fl flags
.Op Fl flag Op Ar value
.Op Fl \-option\-name Ns Oo Oo Ns "=| " Oc Ns Ar value Oc
.Pp
All arguments must be options.
.Pp
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
will send at most
.Ar num\-tries
queries to
.Xr ntpd 8 ,
sleeping for
.Ar secs\-between\-tries
after each status return that says
.Xr ntpd 8
has not yet produced a synchronized and stable system clock.
.Pp
.Nm
will do this quietly, unless the
.Fl v
flag is provided.
This can be useful at boot time, to delay the boot sequence until after
.Ar ntpd \-g
has set the time.
.Sh "OPTIONS"
.Bl -tag
.It Fl n Ar number , Fl \-tries Ns = Ns Ar number
Number of times to check ntpd.
This option takes an integer number as its argument.
The default
.Ar number
for this option is:
.ti +4
100
.sp
The maximum number of times we will check \fBntpd\fP to see if
it has been able to synchronize and stabilize the system clock.
.It Fl s Ar secs\-between\-tries , Fl \-sleep Ns = Ns Ar secs\-between\-tries
How long to sleep between tries.
This option takes an integer number as its argument.
The default
.Ar secs\-between\-tries
for this option is:
.ti +4
6
.sp
We will sleep for \fIsecs\-between\-tries\fP after each query
of \fBntpd\fP that returns "the time is not yet stable".
.It Fl v , Fl \-verbose
Be verbose.
.sp
By default, \fBntp\-wait\fP is silent.
With this option, \fBntp\-wait\fP will provide status information.
.It Fl \&? , Fl \-help
Display usage information and exit.
.It Fl \&! , Fl \-more\-help
Pass the extended usage information through a pager.
