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. .It Fl v Op Brq Ar v|c|n Fl \-version Op Brq Ar v|c|n Output version of program and exit. The default mode is `v', a simple version. The `c' mode will print copyright information and `n' will print the full copyright notice. .El .Sh "EXIT STATUS" One of the following exit values will be returned: .Bl -tag .It 0 " (EXIT_SUCCESS)" Successful program execution. .It 1 " (EXIT_FAILURE)" The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid. .It 70 " (EX_SOFTWARE)" libopts had an internal operational error. Please report it to autogen\-users@lists.sourceforge.net. Thank you. .El .Sh AUTHORS .An "Harlan Stenn" .Sh NOTES This document corresponds to version @VERSION@ of NTP. .Pp This manual page was \fIAutoGen\fP\-erated from the \fBntp\-wait\fP option definitions.
