# Allowance for leap seconds added to each time zone file. # This file is in the public domain. # This file is generated automatically from the data in the public-domain # leap-seconds.list file, which can be copied from # <ftp://ftp.nist.gov/pub/time/leap-seconds.list> # or <ftp://ftp.boulder.nist.gov/pub/time/leap-seconds.list> # or <ftp://tycho.usno.navy.mil/pub/ntp/leap-seconds.list>. # For more about leap-seconds.list, please see # The NTP Timescale and Leap Seconds # <https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/leap.html>. # The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service # periodically uses leap seconds to keep UTC to within 0.9 s of UT1 # (which measures the true angular orientation of the earth in space) # and publishes leap second data in a copyrighted file # <https://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/Leap_Second.dat>. # See: Levine J. Coordinated Universal Time and the leap second. # URSI Radio Sci Bull. 2016;89(4):30-6. doi:10.23919/URSIRSB.2016.7909995 # <https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7909995>. # 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. The first ("1 Jan 1972") data line in leap-seconds.list # does not denote a leap second; it denotes the start of the current definition # of UTC. # 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 leap second is Rolling (R) the given time is local time (unused here).
