You need the descriptions for the exact ntpd release for your
platform.
eg. NetBSD-6 i386, ntp-dev-4.2.7p410
By default sntp displays the clock offset but does not attempt to
correct it.
-S, --step directly sets the clock to the corrected time
-s, --slew offset correction by slewing using adjtime{}
I've no recent experience of using sntp, last time used was on
DOS (ND7) but from a local server running chrony with time set
from an infrequent dialup connection.
