1 | # $OpenBSD: leapseconds,v 1.2 1997/01/14 04:36:54 millert Exp $ |
| 2 | # @(#)leapseconds 7.8 | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | # Allowance for leapseconds added to each timezone file. | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | # The International Earth Rotation Service periodically uses leap seconds | |
| 7 | # to keep UTC to within 0.9 s of TAI (atomic time); see | |
| 8 | # Terry J Quinn, The BIPM and the accurate measure of time, | |
| 9 | # Proc IEEE 79, 7 (July 1991), 894-905. | |
| 10 | # There were no leap seconds before 1972, because the official mechanism | |
| 11 | # accounting for the discrepancy between atomic time and the earth's rotation | |
| 12 | # did not exist until the early 1970s. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | # The correction (+ or -) is made at the given time, so lines | |
| 15 | # will typically look like: | |
| 16 | # Leap YEAR MON DAY 23:59:60 + R/S | |
| 17 | # or | |
| 18 | # Leap YEAR MON DAY 23:59:59 - R/S | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | # If the leapsecond is Rolling (R) the given time is local time | |
| 21 | # If the leapsecond is Stationary (S) the given time is GMT | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | # Leap YEAR MONTH DAY HH:MM:SS CORR R/S | |
