- # 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
