# ntpdate - emulate the crufty old ntpdate utility from NTP Classic
#
# Not documented, as this is strictly a backward-compatibility shim. It's
# based on the recipes at
#           http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdate
# with corrections for modern ntpdig options.
#
# Debug this by giving the -n option, which causes it to echo the
# generated ntpdig command rather than executing it.
#
# Known bugs:
# * The -e and -p options of ntpdate are not yet implemented.
# * ntpdate took 4 samples and chose the best (shortest trip time).
#   This takes the first.
#
# ntpdate ntpdig  ntpd    What it does
# -4      -4      -q -4   Resolve DNS lookups to A records         
# -6      -6      -q -6   Resolve DNS lookups to AAAA records      
# -a N    -a N    -q      Authentication   
# -b      -S      -q      step time adjustments
# -B      -s      -q      slew time adjustments
# -d      -d      -d      debugging mode (implies -q)

# -v                      verbose (ntpd is always more verbose than ntpdate)

#   
#         -l file         Log to file
