# The rules for leap seconds are specified in Annex 1 (Time scales) of:
# Standard-frequency and time-signal emissions.
# International Telecommunication Union - Radiocommunication Sector
# (ITU-R) Recommendation TF.460-6 (02/2002)

# The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS)
# periodically uses leap seconds to keep UTC to within 0.9 s of UT1
# (a proxy for Earth's angle in space as measured by astronomers)
# and publishes leap second data in a copyrighted file

# There were no leap seconds before 1972, as no official mechanism
# accounted for the discrepancy between atomic time (TAI) and the earth's
# rotation. 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.
# All leap-seconds are Stationary (S) at the given UTC time.
# The correction (+ or -) is made at the given time, so in the unlikely
# event of a negative leap second, a line would look like this:
# Leap YEAR MON DAY 23:59:59 - S
# Typical lines look like this:
# Leap YEAR MON DAY 23:59:60 + S
