README.adoc
= The NTPsec distribution base directory =
This directory and its subdirectories contain NTPSec, a
security-hardened implementation of Network Time Protocol Version 4.
You can browse a summary of differences from legacy NTP here:
https://docs.ntpsec.org/latest/ntpsec.html
The contents of the base directory are given in this file. The contents of
subdirectories are usually given in the README files in each subdirectory.
The base directory ./ contains the configuration files, source
directories and related stuff:
INSTALL.adoc:: Generic installation instructions.
NEWS.adoc:: What's new in this release.
README.adoc:: This file.
LICENSES/:: License texts in REUSE format. See http://reuse.software
VERSION:: The version stamp, to be used by scripts and programs.
attic/:: Directory containing source code that is *not* part of a
normal installation. Things can disappear from here at any
time.
buildprep:: Executable script for fetching installation prerequisites.
contrib/:: Directory containing contributed scripts, dragons dwell here.
Some of this might eventually move to being supported code.
devel/:: Documentation and small tools aimed at developers.
Includes a hacking guide and a tour of the internals.
docs/:: Directory containing a complete set of documentation on
building and configuring a NTP server or client. The files
are in asciidoc markup. This replaces the 'html' directory
of previous versions, but html can be generated from it.
etc/:: Directory containing a motley collection of configuration files
and launch scripts for various systems. For example
only.
include/:: Directory containing include header files used by most
programs in the distribution.
libjsmn/:: A minimal JSON library used by the GPSD-JSON driver.
libntp/:: Directory containing library source code used by most
programs in the distribution.
libparse/:: This directory contains the files making up the parser for
the parse refclock driver. For reasonably sane clocks
this refclock drivers allows a refclock implementation
by just providing a conversion routine and the
appropriate NTP parameters
ntpclients/:: Directory containing sources for clients - utility programs
to query local and remote NTP installations for log status,
state variables, and other timekeeping information. The term
"clients" is used quite loosely here; any tool that is not a
multi-file C program probably lives in this directory.
ntpd/:: Sources for the main time-synchronization daemon.
ntpfrob/:: The ntpfrob utility collects several small diagnostic
functions for reading and tweaking the local clock
hardware, including reading the clock tick rate,
precision, and jitter.
ntptime/:: Directory containing a utility for reading and modifying
kernel parameters related to the local clock.
packaging/:: Parts and guidance for distribution packagers.
pylib/:: Installable Python helper modules for scripts.
tests/:: Self-test code.
waf:: A copy of the waf builder. This is the engine used to configure
and build the codebase.
wafhelpers/:: A library of Python procedures used by the waf build system.
wscript:: NTP-specific waf rules.
