Arturs,
Might I trouble you to file a documentation category bug report at
bugs.ntp.org?
Thanks...

Hello List!
I have trouble using ntpdsim. I want to test jumps, leaps and
erratic behavior of upstream NTP sources to my infrastructure. I
hoped to simulate different conditions with help of ntpdsim.
However, I cannot figure out how to use it.
I follow documentation and example found in
https://www.ntp.org/documentation/4.2.8-series/ntpdsim/
<https://www.ntp.org/documentation/4.2.8-series/ntpdsim/>
Documentation there provides such test script to be used:
#!/bin/bash
rm -f ./ntpstats/*
ntpdsim -C .001 -T 400 -W 1 -c ./ntp.conf,
And I get such errors when I run it:
/usr/local/bin/ntpdsim: illegal option -- C
ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.8p15
Usage: ntpdsim [ -<flag> [<val>] | --<name>[{=| }<val>] ]... \
[ <server1> ... <serverN> ]
Try 'ntpdsim --help' for more information.
When I execute ntpdsim with --help flag, the output does not mention
the specific ntpdsim CLI parameters:
$ ntpdsim --help
ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.8p15
Usage: ntpdsim [ -<flag> [<val>] | --<name>[{=| }<val>] ]... \
[ <server1> ... <serverN> ]
