Requests to read and write arbitrary variables can be assembled, with raw and pretty-printed output options being available.

If no request options are given, <code>ntpq</code> will attempt to read commands from the standard input and execute these on the NTP server running on the first host given on the command line, again defaulting to localhost when no other host is specified. <code>ntpq</code> will prompt for commands if the standard input is a terminal device. 81 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj 82 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj <p><code>ntpq</code> uses NTP mode 6 packets to communicate with the NTP server, and hence can be used to query any compatible server on the network which permits it. Note that since NTP is a UDP protocol this communication will be somewhat unreliable, especially over large distances in terms of network topology. <code>ntpq</code> makes one attempt to retransmit requests, and will time requests out if the remote host is not heard from within a suitable timeout time. 83 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj 84 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj <p>Note that in contexts where a host name is expected, a <code>-4</code> qualifier preceding the host name forces DNS resolution to the IPv4 namespace, while a <code>-6</code> qualifier forces DNS resolution to the IPv6 namespace. 85 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj 86 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj <p>For examples and usage, see the <a href="debug.html">NTP Debugging Techniques</a> page. 87 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj 88 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj <div class="node"> 89 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj <p><hr> 90 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj <a name="ntpq-Invocation"></a> 91 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj <br> 92 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj </div> 93 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj 94 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj <h3 class="section">Invoking ntpq</h3> 95 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj 96 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj <p><a name="index-ntpq-1"></a><a name="index-standard-NTP-query-program-2"></a> 97 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj 98 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj <p>The 99 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj <code>ntpq</code> 100 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj utility program is used to query NTP servers which 101 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj implement the standard NTP mode 6 control message formats defined 102 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj in Appendix B of the NTPv3 specification RFC1305, requesting 103 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj information about current state and/or changes in that state. 104 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj The same formats are used in NTPv4, although some of the 105 1.1.1.2.4.2 snj variables have changed and new ones added.
