- # @(#)leapseconds 7.7
-
- # Allowance for leapseconds added to each timezone file.
-
- # The International Earth Rotation Service periodically uses leap seconds
- # to keep UTC to within 0.9 s of TAI (atomic time); see
- # Terry J Quinn, The BIPM and the accurate measure of time,
- # Proc IEEE 79, 7 (July 1991), 894-905.
- # There were no leap seconds before 1972, because the official mechanism
- # accounting for the discrepancy between atomic time and the earth's rotation
- # did not exist until the early 1970s.
-
- # The correction (+ or -) is made at the given time, so lines
- # will typically look like:
- # Leap YEAR MON DAY 23:59:60 + R/S
- # or
- # Leap YEAR MON DAY 23:59:59 - R/S
-
- # If the leapsecond is Rolling (R) the given time is local time
- # If the leapsecond is Stationary (S) the given time is GMT
-
- # Leap YEAR MONTH DAY HH:MM:SS CORR R/S
