# @(#)leapseconds 8.3
|
|
|
|
# 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

# for the measurement and

#
|
|
# INFORMATION ON UTC - TAI
|
|
#
|
|
# NO positive leap second will be introduced at the end of June 2007.
|
|
# The difference between Coordinated Universal Time UTC and the
|
|
# International Atomic Time TAI is:
|
|
# from 2006 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = -33 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.
