That only has a small overlap with my patch. Most of my patch is still
applicable.

That's why I added the parenthetical "using whichever unit the clock is
presently denominated in". If any more explanation is required than
that and the description of the status flag, it should be brought out
as a separate paragraph, not squeezed into the option descriptions.

That doesn't sit well with what I want to achieve. I'm thinking that
I'd like to make the -p output look something like
offset: 5221897 ns
frequency: 5733637 /65536 us/s
maxerror: 616511 us
esterror: 9673 us
status: STA_PLL | STA_NANO
time_constant: 10 Sh
precision: 1 us
tolerance: 32768000 /65536 us/s
tick: 9999 us
raw time: 1492784129.037972432
return value: TIME_OK
Most of the new stuff is units, and I don't see a reasonable layout
that puts that all on new lines. But in most cases the existing number
is still whitespace-delimited and the first thing following the colon,
so it's still easy to parse out in a backward-compatible way. What do
you think?
