The "ntpq --debug-level" command is used to specify the debugging level for the ntpq utility.
The "ntpq" utility is a command-line tool that is part of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) package. It is used to query and control NTP servers.
The "--debug-level" option allows you to set the level of debugging information that will be displayed by the ntpq utility. The possible values for this option are:
-
"none": This is the default value, and it means no debugging information will be displayed.
-
"informative": It displays basic information about the operations being performed by the ntpq utility.
-
"more": It provides more detailed debugging information, which can be useful for troubleshooting purposes.
-
"all": This displays all available debugging information, including verbose output and internal NTP protocol details. It is the highest level of debugging and can generate a lot of output.
By specifying a particular debugging level with the "--debug-level" option, you can control the amount of information displayed by the ntpq utility based on your needs.
