Current or prospective timestamps: Georgia, Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil Historial timestamps and/or commentary: Malaysia, Mongolia, Singapore, Peru, Russua, Israel, United States, Canada Changes in Argentina and Brazil have created several new time zone regions. Users are encouraged to rerun tzsetup(8), even if current times appear correct, to ensure that future times will be interepreted correctly.

# @(#)leapseconds 7.16

|
# 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 UT1
|
|
# (which measures the true angular orientation of the earth in space); 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 UTC
|
|
|
|
# Leap YEAR MONTH DAY HH:MM:SS CORR R/S

|
#
|
|
# NO positive leap second will be introduced at the end of December 2003.

# The difference between UTC and the International Atomic Time TAI is:
|
|
#
|
|
# from 1999 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice: UTC-TAI = -32 s
|
|
#
|
|
# Leap seconds can be introduced in UTC at the end of the months of December
|
|
# or June, depending on the evolution of UT1-TAI. Bulletin C is mailed every
|
|
# six months, either to announce a time step in UTC, or to confirm that there
|
|
# will be no time step at the next possible date.
