ntp
===

The ntp package is an implementation of a simple NTP client. It allows you
to connect to a remote NTP server and request the current time.

To request the current time, simply do the following:
```go
time, err := ntp.Time("0.beevik-ntp.pool.ntp.org")
```

To request the current time along with additional metadata, use the Query
function:
```go
response, err := ntp.Query("0.beevik-ntp.pool.ntp.org")
```

NB: if you want to use the NTP Pool in your software you should request your
own [vendor zone](http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/vendors.html).  You **must
absolutely not use the default pool.ntp.org zone names** as the default
configuration in your application or appliance.
