  43 .Op Ar command Op Ar argument ...
  44 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  45 The
  46 .Nm
  47 utility is used to control the operation of the
  48 .Xr timed 8
  49 program.
  50 It may be used to:
  51 .Bl -bullet
  52 .It
  53 Measure the differences between machines' clocks,
  54 .It
  55 Find the location where the master time server is running,
  56 .It
  57 Enable or disable tracing of messages received by
  58 .Xr timed 8 ,
  59 and
  60 .It
  61 Perform various debugging actions.
  62 .El
  63 .Pp
  64 Without any arguments,
  65 .Nm
  66 will prompt for commands from the standard input.
  67 If arguments are supplied,
  68 .Nm
  69 interprets the first argument as a command and the remaining
  70 arguments as parameters to the command.  The standard input
  71 may be redirected causing
  72 .Nm
  73 to read commands from a file.
  74 Commands may be abbreviated;
  75 recognized commands are:
  76 .Pp
  77 .Bl -tag -width Ds -compact
  78 .It Ic \&? Op Ar command ...
  79 .Pp
  80 .It Ic help Op Ar command ...
  81 Print a short description of each command specified in the argument list,
  82 or, if no arguments are given, a list of the recognized commands.
  83 .Pp
  84 .It Ic clockdiff Ar host ...
  85 Compute the differences between the clock of the host machine
  86 and the clocks of the machines given as arguments.
  87 .Pp
  88 .It Ic msite Op Ar host ...
  89 Show the master time server for specified host(s).
  90 .Pp
  91 .It Xo
  92 .Ic trace
  93 .Li \&{ Ar on Li \&|
  94 .Ar off \&}
  95 .Xc

  99 .Pa /var/log/timed.log .
 100 .Pp
 101 .It Ic election Ar host1 Op Ar host2 ...
 102 Asks the daemon
 103 on the target host to reset its "election" timers and to ensure that
 104 a time master has been elected.
 105 .Pp
 106 .It Ic quit
 107 Exit from timedc.
 108 .El
 109 .Pp
 110 Other commands may be included for use in testing and debugging
 111 .Xr timed 8 ;
 112 the help command and
 113 the program source may be consulted for details.
