4.2.5. PPS Support
Chrony supports various PPS types natively. It can use kernel PPS API as well as PTP hardware clock. Most general GPS receivers can be leveraged via GPSD. The latter (and potentially more) can be accessed via SHM or via a socket (recommended). All of the above can be used to augment chrony with additional high quality time sources for better accuracy, jitter, drift, longer-or-short term accuracy (Usually each kind of clock type is good at one of those, but non-perfect at the others). For more details on configuration see some of the external PPS/GPSD resource listed below.
