+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+sntpc [\fB\-bhnv\fP] [\fB\-p\fP \fIport\fP] [\fB\-s\fP \fIserver\fP] [\fB\-t\fP \fIthreshold\fP]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+\fBsntpc\fP queries an NTP server for the current time, and sets the
+local clock to the time reported by the server. It\(aqs a standalone
+binary, with no config file and no dependency on the \fIntp\fP package.
+.sp
+\fBsntpc\fP does not run as a daemon like \fBntpd\fP does. To keep
+the time in sync, you can run \fBsntpc\fP from root\(aqs \fBcrontab\fP(1)
+every 30 minutes (or however often it\(aqs necessary).
+.sp
+\fBsntpc\fP requires root access to actually set the local clock,
+although it can be run with \fB\-n\fP by non\-privileged users (e.g. with
+\fB\-v\fP to simply check the local time against the server\(aqs time).
+.SH OPTIONS
