How does ntp actually discipline the local clock?

ntpd alters (i.e. increases or decreases) the clock frequency to steer
the system clock toward the best available estimate of the chosen
time-base.

Actually I was wondering exactly where in the code this happens, and if ntp
actually keeps adjusting the system clock continuously (one per second?).
