.TH HWSTAMP_CTL 8 "November 2012" "linuxptp"
.SH NAME
hwstamp_ctl \- set time stamping policy at the driver level
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B hwstamp_ctl
.BI \-i " interface"
[
.BI \-r " rx-filter"
] [
.BI \-t " tx-type"
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B hwstamp_ctl
is a program used to set the hardware time stamping policy at the network
driver level with the
.B SIOCSHWTSTAMP
.BR ioctl (2).
The
.I tx-type
and
.I rx-filter
values are hints to the driver what it is expected to do. If the requested
fine-grained filtering for incoming packets is not supported, the driver may
time stamp more than just the requested types of packets.
This program is a debugging tool. The
.BR ptp4l (8)
program does not need this program to function, it will set the policy
automatically as appropriate.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-i " interface"
Specify the network interface of which the policy should be changed.
.TP
.BI \-r " rx-filter"
Specify which types of incoming packets should be time stamped,
.I rx-filter
is an integer value.
.TP
.BI \-t " tx-type"
Enable or disable hardware time stamping for outgoing packets,
.I tx-type
is an integer value.
.TP
.BI \-h
Display a help message and list of possible values for
.I rx-filter
and
.IR tx-type .

.TH PHC2SYS 8 "November 2012" "linuxptp"
.SH NAME

|
.BI \-i " interface"
] |
.BI \-s " phc-device"

] [
.BI \-R " update-rate"
] [
.BI \-N " clock-readings"
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B phc2sys
is a program which synchronizes two clocks in the system. Typically, it is used
to synchronize the system clock to a PTP hardware clock (PHC), which itself is
synchronized by the
.BR ptp4l (8)
program.
Two synchronization modes are supported, one uses a pulse per second (PPS)
signal provided by the source clock and the other mode reads time from the
source clock directly. The PPS mode is usually preferred, because reading the
PHC is slow and introduces an unknown error in the readings, but not all PHCs
provide the PPS signal.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-d " pps-device"
Specify the PPS device of the master clock (e.g. /dev/pps0). With this option
the PPS synchronization mode is used instead of the direct mode. As the PPS
signal does not specify time and only marks start of a second, the slave clock
should be already close to the correct time before
.B phc2sys
is started or the
.B \-s
option should be used too.
.TP
.BI \-s " phc-device"
Specify the device of the master clock (e.g. /dev/ptp0). When this option is
used together with the
.B \-d
option, the master clock is read only on start to fix an offset over 0.5
seconds which cannot be fixed with PPS alone.
.TP
.BI \-i " interface"
Similar to the
.B \-s
option, but specified by the interface which provides the master clock.
.TP
.BI \-c " phc-device"
Specify the device of the slave clock (e.g. /dev/ptp1). The default slave clock
is the system clock (CLOCK_REALTIME).
.TP
.BI \-P " kp"
Specify the proportional constant of the PI controller. The default is 0.7.
.TP
.BI \-I " ki"
Specify the integral constant of the PI controller. The default is 0.3.
.TP
.BI \-R " update-rate"
Specify the slave clock update rate when running in the direct synchronization
mode. The default is 1 per second.
.TP
.BI \-N " phc-num"
Specify the number of master clock readings per one slave clock update. Only
the fastest reading is used to update the slave clock, this is useful to
minimize the error caused by random delays in scheduling and bus utilization.
The default is 5.

.BI \-h

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

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.
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.
