" -t val shift the ptp clock time by 'val' seconds\n"
" -T val set the ptp clock time to 'val' seconds\n"
" -x val get an extended ptp clock time with the desired number of samples (up to %d)\n"
+ " -a val get extended timestamps with attributes (error_bound,\n"timestamps -> ptp clock to be consistent also, have you considered making the "-a" additional flag to -x and -A instead of an exclusive option?
+ printf("sample #%2d: unknown clock %d %s: %lld.%09u\n",
+ sample_num, clockid, when, sec, nsec);In the case of an unknown clock, will the additional parameters (when/sec/..) be useful?

in case device doesn't report error bound, I think it's better to print explicit message
