# This file is generated automatically from the data in the public-domain
# leap-seconds.list file available from most NIST time servers.
# If the URL <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list> does not work,
# you should be able to pick up leap-seconds.list from a secondary NIST server.

# The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems 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 <http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/5.84965>.
# 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
