>Description:
(1) `man 8 ntptime' shows:
-s status
-t time_constant
Specify time constant, an integer in the range 0-4.
The description on `-s' option is missing.
(2) Then, the `src/contrib/ntp/html/ntptime.htm' which is an original
HTML document of this manual page is very starange as compared with
the usage of `ntptime' command.
o `-h' option shows usage.
o `-l' option doesn't supported.
o `-m' option specify max errors.
o Range of `time_constant' is 0-10.
I've sent another patch (appended to this pr) to the author,
and it has already fixed in NTP CVS Repository:
<http://maccarony.ntp.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ntp/html/ntptime.htm>;
So I hope that we will apply this patch to `ntptime.htm' and `ntptime.8'.
Thanks.
