	src/usr.sbin/xntpd/doc/ntpq.8
	.\"     $Id: ntpq.8,v 1.5 1998/02/19 08:05:38 charnier Exp $

>Description:

	`$ man 8 ntpq' shows followings.  There are description about
	<sp>, "x", and etc.

             The character in the left margin indicates the fate of this peer
             in the clock selection process. The codes mean: <sp> discarded
             due to high stratum and/or failed sanity checks; "x" designated
             falsticker by the intersection algorithm; "". culled from the end
             of the candidate list; "-" discarded by the clustering algorithm;
             "+" included in the final selection set; "#" selected for syn-
             chronization but distance exceeds maximum; "*" selected for syn-
             chronization; and "o" selected for synchronization, pps signal in
             use.

	I think that `"".' should be `"."'.

>How-To-Repeat:

	$ man 8 ntpq

>Fix:

	When we use single punctuation charater as argument for mdoc
	macros, the punctuation character should be escaped by `\&'.
