# This file is generated automatically from the data in the public-domain
# NIST/IERS format leap-seconds.list file, which can be copied from

# or via a less-secure protocol and with different comments and
# less volatile last-modified and expiration timestamps, 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

# 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

# Here are POSIX timestamps for the data in this file.
# "#updated" gives the last time the leap seconds data changed
# or, if this file was derived from the IERS leap-seconds.list,

# "#expires" gives the first time this file might be wrong;
# if this file was derived from the IERS leap-seconds.list,
# this is typically a bit less than one year after "updated".
