[ntp:questions] use ntpd, how to know unsync status on linux system

[赵颖科]

        I`m using ntpd(ntp4.2.6p1) as client in linux(2.6.26). I have some 
questions about my user app how to know the ntp client sync status.

        1. I use ntp_gettime, is there other way?
        2. If there is no server alive, when I start ntp client, why ntptime 
show :ntp_gettime() returns code 0, but not code 5?
         I trace the  function loop_config in the file ntpd/ntp_loopfilter.c :

                        case LOOP_DRIFTINIT:
#ifndef LOCKCLOCK
#ifdef KERNEL_PLL
                if (mode_ntpdate)
                        break;

                pll_control = 1;
                memset(&ntv, 0, sizeof(ntv));
                ntv.modes = MOD_BITS;
                ntv.status = STA_PLL;
                ntv.maxerror = MAXDISPERSE;
                ntv.esterror = MAXDISPERSE;
                ntv.constant = sys_poll;

        I think it should be :
                ntv.maxerror = (u_int32)(MAXDISPERSE * 1e6);
                ntv.esterror = (u_int32)(MAXDISPERSE * 1e6);

        or not?

        3. If ntp server no answer for 1h or shortter time, ntpd can mark 
unsync stat? how could I config ntpd?
