-== When Not to Write a Driver ==
-
-If the device you are trying to support is an exotic GPS, you should
-probably not write an +ntpd+ driver for it.  Instead, check to see if
-it is already supported by {GPSD}, a project with which NTPsec
-cooperates closely.  The GPSD people are specialists in managing GPSes
-and better at it than we are, supporting a much broader range of
-devices, and GPSD is designed to feed clock samples to +ntpd+ from any
-of them.  If you need to write a driver for a GPS, they'll take it and
-should have it.
-
-If you have a non-GPS time source (like a time radio or GPSDO) that
-you want to support, consider link:generic_howto.html[writing a mode
-for it in the generic driver] rather than a full driver of its own;
-this will be easier.  The generic driver is so called because it
-factors out a lot of I/O and housekeeping code common to all drivers,
-allowing you support a new device type by writing only a parser for
-its sentences.
-
-[[desc]]
-== Structure of a Driver ==
-
-NTP reference clock support maintains the fiction that the clock is
-actually an ordinary server in the NTP tradition, but operating at a
-synthetic stratum of zero. The entire suite of algorithms filter the
-received data and select the best sources to correct the system clock.
-No packets are exchanged with a reference clock; however, the transmit,
-receive and packet procedures are replaced with code to simulate them.
-
-The driver assumes three timescales: standard time maintained by a
-distant laboratory such as USNO or NIST, reference time maintained by
-the external radio and the system time maintained by NTP. The radio
-synchronizes reference time via radio, satellite or modem. As the
-transmission means may not always be reliable, most radios continue to
-provide clock updates for some time after signal loss using an internal
-reference oscillator. In such cases the radio may or may not reveal the
-time since last synchronized or the estimated time error.
-
-All three timescales run only in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and
-are not adjusted for local timezone or standard/daylight time. The local
-timezone, standard/daylight indicator and year, if provided, are
-ignored. However, it is important to determine whether a leap second is
-to be inserted in the UTC timescale in the near future so NTP can insert
-it in the system timescale at the appropriate epoch.
-
-The interface routines in the +ntp_refclock.c+ source file call the
-following driver routines via a transfer vector:
-
-+startup+::
-  The association has just been mobilized. The driver may allocate a
-  private structure and open the device(s) required.
-+shutdown+::
-  The association is about to be demobilized. The driver should close
-  all device(s) and free private structures.
-+receive+::
-  A timecode string is ready for retrieval using the +refclock_gtlin()+
-  or +refclock_gtraw()+ routines and provide clock updates.
-+poll+::
-  Called at poll timeout, by default 64 s. Ordinarily, the driver will
-  send a poll sequence to the radio as required.
-+timer+::
-  Called once per second. This can be used for housekeeping functions.
-  In the case with pulse-per-second (PPS) signals, this can be used to
-  process the signals and provide clock updates.
-
-The receive routine retrieves a timecode string via serial or parallel
-port, PPS signal or other means. It decodes the timecode in days, hours,
-minutes, seconds and nanoseconds and checks for errors. It provides
-these data along with the on-time timestamp to the +refclock_process+
-routine, which saves the computed offset in a 60-sample circular buffer.
-On occasion, either by timeout, sample count or call to the poll
-routine, the driver calls +refclock_receive+ to process the circular
-buffer samples and update the system clock.
-
-The best way to understand how the clock drivers work is to study one of
-the drivers already implemented, such as +refclock_spectracom.c+. The
-main interface is the +refclockproc+ structure, which contains for most
-drivers the decoded timecode, on-time timestamp, reference timestamp,
-exception reports and statistics tallies, etc. The support routines are
-passed a pointer to the +peer+ structure, which contains a pointer to
-the +refclockproc+ structure, which in turn contains a pointer to the
-unit structure, if used. For legacy purposes, a table
-+typeunit[type][unit]+ contains the peer structure pointer for each
-configured clock type and unit. This structure should not be used for
-new implementations.
-
-Radio and modem reference clocks by convention have addresses of the
-form +127.127.t.u+, where _t_ is the clock type and _u_ in the range 0-3
-is used to distinguish multiple instances of clocks of the same type.
-These addresses used to be exposed as part of the refclock
-configuration syntax, but are no longer.  Nothing in ntpd now actually
-requires this form of address for clocks, but it is still generated
-so as not to hand surprises to legacy +ntpq+ instances that still make
-the assumption.
-
-Most clocks require a serial or parallel port or special bus peripheral.
-The particular device is normally specified by adding a soft link
-+/dev/deviceu+ to the particular hardware device.
-
-By convention, reference clock drivers are named in the form
-+refclock_xxxx.c+, where +xxxx+ is a unique string. Each driver is
-assigned a unique long-form driver name, short-form driver name and
-device name. The existing assignments are in the
-link:refclock.html[Reference Clock Drivers] page and its dependencies.
-
-== Conventions, Fudge Factors and Flags ==
-
-Most drivers support manual or automatic calibration for systematic
-offset bias using values encoded in the +refclock+ configuration command.
-By convention, the +time1+ value defines the calibration offset in
-seconds. For those drivers that support statistics collection using the
-+filegen+ utility and the +clockstats+ file, the +flag4+ switch enables
-the utility.
-
-If the calibration feature has been enabled, the +flag1+ switch is set
-and the PPS signal is actively disciplining the system time, the +time1+
-value is automatically adjusted to maintain a residual offset of zero.
-Once the its value has stabilized, the value can be inserted in the
-configuration file and the calibration feature disabled.
-
-[[file]]
-== Files Which Need to be Changed ==
-
-When a new reference clock driver is installed, the following files need
-to be edited. Note that changes are also necessary to properly integrate
-the driver in the configuration and makefile scripts, but these are
-decidedly beyond the scope of this page.
-
-+./include/ntp.h+::
-  The reference clock type defines are used in many places. Each driver
-  is assigned a unique type number. Unused numbers are clearly marked in
-  the list. A unique +REFCLK_xxxx+ identification code should be
-  recorded in the list opposite its assigned type number.
-+./libntp/clocktypes.c+::
-  The +./libntp/clktype+ array is used by certain display functions. A
-  unique short-form name of the driver should be entered together with
-  its assigned identification code.
-+./ntpd/ntp_control.c+::
-  The +clocktypes+ array is used for certain control message displays
-  functions. It should be initialized with the reference clock class
-  assigned to the driver, as per the NTP specification RFC-1305. See the
-  +./include/ntp_control.h+ header file for the assigned classes.
-+./ntpd/refclock_conf.c+::
-  This file contains a list of external structure definitions which are
-  conditionally defined. A new set of entries should be installed
-  similar to those already in the table. The +refclock_conf+ array is a
-  set of pointers to transfer vectors in the individual drivers. The
-  external name of the transfer vector should be initialized in
-  correspondence with the type number.
-
-[[intf]]
-== Interface Routine Overview ==
-
-+refclock_newpeer+ - initialize and start a reference clock.::
-  This routine allocates and initializes the interface structure which
-  supports a reference clock in the form of an ordinary NTP peer. A
-  driver-specific support routine completes the initialization, if used.
-  Default peer variables which identify the clock and establish its
-  reference ID and stratum are set here. It returns one if success and
-  zero if the clock address is invalid or already running, insufficient
-  resources are available or the driver declares a bum rap.
-+refclock_unpeer+ - shut down a clock::
-  This routine is used to shut down a clock and return its resources to
-  the system.
-+refclock_transmit+ - simulate the transmit procedure::
-  This routine implements the NTP transmit procedure for a reference
-  clock. This provides a mechanism to call the driver at the NTP poll
-  interval, as well as provides a reachability mechanism to detect a
-  broken radio or other madness.
-+refclock_process+ - insert a sample in the circular buffer::
-  This routine saves the offset computed from the on-time timestamp and
-  the days, hours, minutes, seconds and nanoseconds in the circular
-  buffer. Note that no provision is included for the year, as provided
-  by some (but not all) radio clocks. Ordinarily, the year is implicit
-  in the Unix file system and hardware/software clock support, so this
-  is ordinarily not a problem.
-+refclock_receive+ - simulate the receive and packet procedures::
-  This routine simulates the NTP receive and packet procedures for a
-  reference clock. This provides a mechanism in which the ordinary NTP
-  filter, selection and combining algorithms can be used to suppress
-  misbehaving radios and to mitigate between them when more than one is
-  available for backup.
-+refclock_gtraw+, +refclock_gtlin+ - read the buffer and on-time timestamp::
-  These routines return the data received from the clock and the on-time
-  timestamp. The +refclock_gtraw+ routine returns a batch of one or more
-  characters returned by the Unix terminal routines in raw mode. The
-  +refclock_gtlin+ routine removes the parity bit and control characters
-  and returns all the characters up to and including the line
-  terminator. Either routine returns the number of characters delivered.
-+refclock_open+ - open a serial port for reference clock::
-  This routine opens a serial port for I/O and sets default options. It
-  returns the file descriptor if success and zero if failure.
-+refclock_ioctl+ - set serial port control functions::
-  This routine attempts to hide the internal, system-specific details of
-  serial ports. It can handle POSIX (+termios+), SYSV (+termio+) and BSD
-  (+sgtty+) interfaces with varying degrees of success. The routine
-  returns one if success and zero if failure.
-+refclock_ppsapi+::
-  This routine initializes the Pulse-per-Second interface (see below).
-+refclock_pps+::
-  This routine is called once per second to read the latest PPS offset
-  and save it in the circular buffer (see below).
-
-[[pps]]
-== Pulse-per-Second Interface ==
-
-When the Pulse-per-Second Application Interface (RFC 2783) is present, a
-compact PPS interface is available to all drivers. See the
-link:prefer.html[Mitigation Rules and the Prefer Peer] page for further
-information. To use this interface, include the +timeppps.h+ and
-+refclock_pps.h+ header files and define the +refclock_ppsctl+ structure
-in the driver private storage. The +timepps.h+ file is specific to each
-operating system and may not be available for some systems.
-
-To use the interface, call +refclock_ppsapi+ from the startup routine
-passing the device file descriptor and +refclock_ppsctl+ structure
-pointer. Then, call +refclock_pps+ from the timer routine passing the
-association pointer and +refclock_ppsctl+ structure pointer. See the
-+refclock_pps.c+ file for examples and calling sequences. If the PPS
-signal is valid, the offset sample will be save in the circular buffer
-and a bit set in the association flags word indicating the sample is
-valid and the driver an be selected as a PPS peer. If this bit is set
-when the poll routine is called, the driver calls the
-+refclock_receive+ routine to process the samples in the circular
-buffer and update the system clock.
