Brian,
I don't understand your comment. There are two statistics returned by
the ntp_gettime() syscall, maximum error and estimated error. Choose a
threshold for either to define what you will accept; the server can't do
that for you. The maximum error threshold used by ntpd as a client is
one second. The kernel continues to maintain the maximum error statistic
even if the NTP server leaves the building. The time you get from the
kernel is accurate to within the maximum error statistic.

ntpstat not being in the std distribution might have something to do
with why I couldn't find much about it!
Dave Mills' comment about ntp_gettime (in timex.h) might fill the bill
but seems binary: sync or no sync, not seeking_1/seeking_2/seeking_3/sync.....
I may need to scrutinize this when the design decision is made that
the Master I must obey must have good time.

ntpstat is not part of the standard distribution.
