.SH DESCRIPTION
.B hwstamp_ctl
is a program used to set the hardware time stamping policy at the network
driver level with the
.B SIOCSHWTSTAMP
.BR ioctl (2).
The
.I tx-type
and
.I rx-filter
values are hints to the driver what it is expected to do. If the requested
fine-grained filtering for incoming packets is not supported, the driver may
time stamp more than just the requested types of packets.
This program is a debugging tool. The
.BR ptp4l (8)
program does not need this program to function, it will set the policy
automatically as appropriate.
