.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.\" Mixture of short (flag) options and long options
.Op Fl flags
.Op Fl flag Ar value
.Op Fl \-option\-name Ar value
.Pp
All arguments must be options.
.Pp
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
will send at most
.Ar num\-tries
queries to
.Xr ntpd 8 ,
sleeping for
.Ar secs\-between\-tries
after each status return that says
.Xr ntpd 8
has not yet produced a synchronized and stable system clock.
.Pp
.Nm
will do this quietly, unless the
.Fl v
flag is provided.

The default \fInum\-tries\fP for this option is:
.ti +4
 100
.sp
The maximum number of times we will check \fBntpd\fP to see if

.It  \-s " \fIsecs\-between\-tries\fP, " \-\- "=" \fIsecs\-between\-tries\fP
How long to sleep between tries.
This option takes an integer number as its argument.
The default \fIsecs\-between\-tries\fP for this option is:
.ti +4
 6
.sp
We will sleep for \fIsecs\-between\-tries\fP after each query
