- # <ftp://ftp.nist.gov/pub/time/leap-seconds.list>
- # or <ftp://ftp.boulder.nist.gov/pub/time/leap-seconds.list>.
- # The NIST file is used instead of its IERS upstream counterpart
- # <https://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/ntp/leap-seconds.list>
- # because under US law the NIST file is public domain
- # whereas the IERS file's copyright and license status is unclear.

- # <https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/leap.html>.
-
- # 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)
- # <https://www.itu.int/rec/R-REC-TF.460-6-200202-I/>.
- # 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
- # <https://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/Leap_Second.dat>.

- # 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
