+# Allowance for leap seconds added to each time zone file.

+# This file is in the public domain.

+# This file is generated automatically from the data in the public-domain
+# NIST/IERS format leap-seconds.list file, which can be copied from
+# <https://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/ntp/leap-seconds.list>
+# or, in a variant with different comments, from
+# <ftp://ftp.boulder.nist.gov/pub/time/leap-seconds.list>.
+# For more about leap-seconds.list, please see
+# The NTP Timescale and Leap Seconds
+# <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>.
+# See: Levine J. Coordinated Universal Time and the leap second.

+
+# 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
