  24. # There were no leap seconds before 1972, as no official mechanism
  25. # accounted for the discrepancy between atomic time (TAI) and the earth's
  26. # rotation. The first ("1 Jan 1972") data line in leap-seconds.list
  27. # does not denote a leap second; it denotes the start of the current definition
  28. # of UTC.
  29. # All leap-seconds are Stationary (S) at the given UTC time.
  30. # The correction (+ or -) is made at the given time, so in the unlikely
  31. # event of a negative leap second, a line would look like this:
  32. # Leap YEAR MON DAY 23:59:59 - S
  33. # Typical lines look like this:
  34. # Leap YEAR MON DAY 23:59:60 + S
