Slight Confusion with ntpd(8)

I'm a little confused with the man page for ntpd. For the '-n' flag, it says: 'Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.'. I have no problem with this and understand it. However, the section below that, which is still under '-n', says: 'ntpd will stay in the foreground fo
