.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ptp4l
is an implementation of the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) according to IEEE
standard 1588 for Linux. It implements Boundary Clock (BC) and Ordinary Clock
(OC).
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-A
Select the delay mechanism automatically. Start with E2E and switch to P2P when
a peer delay request is received.
.TP
.B \-E
Select the delay request-response (E2E) mechanism. This is the default
mechanism.
.TP
.B \-P
Select the peer delay (P2P) mechanism.
.TP
.B \-2
Select the IEEE 802.3 network transport.
.TP
.B \-4
Select the UDP IPv4 network transport. This is the default transport.
.TP
.B \-6
Select the UDP IPv6 network transport.
.TP
.B \-H
Select the hardware time stamping. All ports specified by the
.B \-i
option and in the configuration file must be attached to the same PTP hardware
clock (PHC). This is the default time stamping.
.TP
.B \-S
Select the software time stamping.
.TP
.B \-L
Select the legacy hardware time stamping.
.TP
.BI \-f " config"
Read configuration from the specified file. No configuration file is read by
default.
.TP
.BI \-i " interface"
Specify a PTP port, it may be used multiple times. At least one port must be
specified by this option or in the configuration file.
.TP
.BI \-p " phc-device"
With hardware time stamping, force which PHC device (e.g. /dev/ptp0) should be
used.
.TP
.B \-s
Enable the slaveOnly mode.
.TP
.BI \-l " print-level"
Set the maximum syslog level of messages which should be printed or sent to
the system logger. The default is 6 (LOG_INFO).
.TP
.B \-m
Print messages to the standard output.
.TP
.B \-q
Don't send messages to the system logger.
.TP
.B \-v
Prints the software version and exits.
.TP
.BI \-h
Display a help message.
.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
The configuration file is divided into sections. Each section starts with a
line containing its name enclosed in brackets and it follows with settings.
Each setting is placed on a separate line, it contains the name of the
option and the value separated by whitespace characters. Empty lines and lines
starting with # are ignored.
The global section (indicated as
.BR [global] )
sets the program options, clock options and default port options. Other
sections are port specific sections and they override the default port options.
The name of the section is the name of the configured port (e.g.
.BR [eth0] ).
Ports specified in the configuration file don't need to be
specified by the
.B \-i
option. An empty port section can be used to replace the command line option.
.SH PORT OPTIONS
.TP
.B delayAsymmetry
The time difference in nanoseconds of the transmit and receive
paths. This value should be positive when the master-to-slave
propagation time is longer and negative when the slave-to-master time
is longer. The default is 0 nanoseconds.
.TP
.B logAnnounceInterval
The mean time interval between Announce messages. A shorter interval makes
ptp4l react faster to the changes in the master-slave hierarchy. The interval
should be the same in the whole domain. It's specified as a power of two in
seconds.
The default is 1 (2 seconds).
.TP
.B logSyncInterval
The mean time interval between Sync messages. A shorter interval may improve
accuracy of the local clock. It's specified as a power of two in seconds.
The default is 0 (1 second).
.TP
.B logMinDelayReqInterval
The minimum permitted mean time interval between Delay_Req messages. A shorter
interval makes ptp4l react faster to the changes in the path delay. It's
specified as a power of two in seconds.
The default is 0 (1 second).
.TP
.B logMinPdelayReqInterval
The minimum permitted mean time interval between Pdelay_Req messages. It's
specified as a power of two in seconds.
The default is 0 (1 second).
.TP
.B announceReceiptTimeout
The number of missed Announce messages before the last Announce messages
expires.
The default is 3.
.TP
.B transportSpecific
The transport specific field. Must be in the range 0 to 255.
The default is 0.
.TP
.B path_trace_enabled
Enable the mechanism used to trace the route of the Announce messages.
The default is 0 (disabled).
.TP
.B follow_up_info
Include the 802.1AS data in the Follow_Up messages if enabled.
The default is 0 (disabled).
.TP
.B fault_reset_interval
The time in seconds between the detection of a port's fault and the fault
being reset. This value is expressed as a power of two. Setting this
value to -128 or to the special key word "ASAP" will let the fault be
reset immediately.
The default is 4 (16 seconds).
.TP
.B fault_badpeernet_interval
The time in seconds between the detection of a peer network misconfiguration
and the fault being reset. The port is disabled for the duration of the
interval. The value is in seconds and the special key word ASAP will let
the fault be reset immediately.
The default is 16 seconds.
.TP
.B delay_mechanism
Select the delay mechanism. Possible values are E2E, P2P and Auto.
The default is E2E.
.TP
.B network_transport
Select the network transport. Possible values are UDPv4, UDPv6 and L2.
The default is UDPv4.
.TP
.B neighborPropDelayThresh
Upper limit for peer delay in nanoseconds. If the estimated peer delay is
greater than this value the port is marked as not 802.1AS capable.
.SH PROGRAM AND CLOCK OPTIONS

selection algorithm, lower values take precedence. Must be in the range 0 to

The maximum offset the PI controller will correct by changing the clock
frequency instead of stepping the clock. When set to 0.0, the controller will
never step the clock.

square (RMS), maximum absolute offset, frequency offset mean and standard
deviation, and path delay mean and standard deviation. The units are

The default is 00:00:00.
.TP
.B kernel_leap
When a leap second is announced, let the kernel apply it by stepping the clock
instead of correcting the one-second offset with servo, which would correct the
