[lug] adjtimex doc?

[Steve Sullivan]

Hi,
I've looked all over for some good doc on the syscall adjtimex.
It's all pretty cryptic ... basically a man page with
the parm names - offset, freq, status, precision, etc -
but no real doc on how the parms are used.

My question is:  when I issue a gettimeofday() call, exactly
how are all those adjtimex parms used in calculating the result?

Or are they?  If not, how are they used in the kernel?

Many thanks,

Steve
