+# Allowance for leapseconds added to each timezone file.
+
+# The International Earth Rotation 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.
+# 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

+#
+#
+# UTC TIME STEP
+# on the 1st of July 2012
+#
+#
+# A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of June 2012.
+# The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:
+#
+# 2012 June 30, 23h 59m 59s
+# 2012 June 30, 23h 59m 60s
+# 2012 July 1, 0h 0m 0s
+#
+# The difference between UTC and the International Atomic Time TAI is:
+#
+# from 2009 January 1, 0h UTC, to 2012 July 1 0h UTC : UTC-TAI = - 34s
+# from 2012 July 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = - 35s
+#
+# Leap seconds can be introduced in UTC at the end of the months of December
+# or June, depending on the evolution of UT1-TAI. Bulletin C is mailed every
+# six months, either to announce a time step in UTC or to confirm that there
+# will be no time step at the next possible date.
