The insertion of leap seconds into UTC is currently the +# responsibility of the International Earth Rotation Service, +# which is located at the Paris Observatory: +# +# Central Bureau of IERS +# 61, Avenue de l'Observatoire +# 75014 Paris, France. +# +# Leap seconds are announced by the IERS in its Bulletin C +# +# See hpiers.obspm.fr or www.iers.org for more details. +# +# All national laboratories and timing centers use the +# data from the BIPM and the IERS to construct their +# local realizations of UTC. +# +# Although the definition also includes the possibility +# of dropping seconds ("negative" leap seconds), this has +# never been done and is unlikely to be necessary in the +# foreseeable future. +# +# 5. If your system keeps time as the number of seconds since +# some epoch (e.g., NTP timestamps), then the algorithm for +# assigning a UTC time stamp to an event that happens during a positive +# leap second is not well defined. The official name of that leap +# second is 23:59:60, but there is no way of representing that time +# in these systems. +# Many systems of this type effectively stop the system clock for +# one second during the leap second and use a time that is equivalent +# to 23:59:59 UTC twice. For these systems, the corresponding TAI +# timestamp would be obtained by advancing to the next entry in the +# following table when the time equivalent to 23:59:59 UTC +# is used for the second time. Thus the leap second which +# occurred on 30 June 1972 at 23:59:59 UTC would have TAI +# timestamps computed as follows: +# +# ... +# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds +# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785599,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds +# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600) TAI= UTC + 11 seconds +# ... +# +# If your system realizes the leap second by repeating 00:00:00 UTC twice +# (this is possible but not usual), then the advance to the next entry +# in the table must occur the second time that a time equivlent to +# 00:00:00 UTC is used. Thus, using the same example as above: +# +# ... +# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds +# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785600, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds +# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds +# ... +# +# in both cases the use of timestamps based on TAI produces a smooth +# time scale with no discontinuity in the time interval. +# +# This complexity would not be needed for negative leap seconds (if they +# are ever used). The UTC time would skip 23:59:59 and advance from +# 23:59:58 to 00:00:00 in that case. The TAI offset would decrease by +# 1 second at the same instant.
