        <p>This program is useful only with special kernels described in the <a href="kern.html">A Kernel Model for Precision Timekeeping</a> page. It reads and displays time-related kernel variables using the <tt>ntp_gettime()</tt> system call. A similar display can be obtained using the <tt>ntpdc</tt> program and <tt>kerninfo</tt> command.</p>
