This is from an old ntpq -p
The new ntpq is similar.

Note that there are 2 problems.
The delay and offset colums are entry.
The remote slot for the first/pool slot is 0.0.0.0 rather than a name.

I fixed a bug in the table. My test with ntsinfo crashed the server. The
problem is that a couple slots in the table were #ifdef-ed out because I
wasn't enabling leap smear and the giant select was indexing into the table to
get the text using the CS_xxx tag rather than the table offset. With the
missing slots, that was off the end of the table.
I reopened that issue. It needs another layer of TLC. The table should have
a pointer to the variable and a tag for how to print it. The idea is that
most of the slots in the giant select go away. We leave the weird
non-standard cases.
Thanks for taking the first step.
