I work with time series data, and that includes handling the devices that produce the data. Time has to be in sync between different devices, and that sync is commonly done via NTP for devices on an Ethernet/IP network. For that, I find it useful to have a little tool to quickly check time of a client vs. some NTP server. So why not write something in Zig?!
Currently, it’s a one-shot program that makes an NTP query and gives you a report for the result (json or ‘human-friendly’). All the NTP functionality can be used independently, as a library.
