Both of these time stamp formats -# ignore the complexities of the time scales that were -# used before the current definition of UTC at the start -# of 1972.

The UTC time scale is realized by many national -# laboratories and timing centers. Each laboratory -# identifies its realization with its name: Thus -# UTC(NIST), UTC(USNO), etc. The differences among -# these different realizations are typically on the -# order of a few nanoseconds (i.e., 0.000 000 00x s) -# and can be ignored for many purposes.

The current definition of the relationship between UTC -# and TAI dates from 1 January 1972.

If your system keeps time as the number of seconds since -# some epoch (e.g., NTP timestamps), then the algorithm for -# assigning a UTC time stamp to an event that happens during a positive -# leap second is not well defined. The official name of that leap -# second is 23:59:60, but there is no way of representing that time -# in these systems. -# Many systems of this type effectively stop the system clock for -# one second during the leap second and use a time that is equivalent -# to 23:59:59 UTC twice. For these systems, the corresponding TAI -# timestamp would be obtained by advancing to the next entry in the -# following table when the time equivalent to 23:59:59 UTC -# is used for the second time. Thus the leap second which -# occurred on 30 June 1972 at 23:59:59 UTC would have TAI -# timestamps computed as follows: -# -# ... -# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds -# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785599,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds -# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600) TAI= UTC + 11 seconds -# ... -# -# If your system realizes the leap second by repeating 00:00:00 UTC twice -# (this is possible but not usual), then the advance to the next entry -# in the table must occur the second time that a time equivalent to -# 00:00:00 UTC is used. Thus, using the same example as above: -# -# ... -# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds -# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785600, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds -# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds -# ... -# -# in both cases the use of timestamps based on TAI produces a smooth -# time scale with no discontinuity in the time interval. However, -# although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct in both -# methods, the second method is technically not correct because it adds -# the extra second to the wrong day. -# -# This complexity would not be needed for negative leap seconds (if they -# are ever used). The UTC time would skip 23:59:59 and advance from -# 23:59:58 to 00:00:00 in that case. The TAI offset would decrease by -# 1 second at the same instant. This is a much easier situation to deal -# with, since the difficulty of unambiguously representing the epoch -# during the leap second does not arise. -# -# Some systems implement leap seconds by amortizing the leap second -# over the last few minutes of the day. The frequency of the local -# clock is decreased (or increased) to realize the positive (or -# negative) leap second. This method removes the time step described -# above. Although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct -# in this case, this method introduces an error during the adjustment -# period both in time and in frequency with respect to the official -# definition of UTC. -# -# Questions or comments to: -# Judah Levine -# Time and Frequency Division -# NIST -# Boulder, Colorado -# Judah.Levine@nist.gov -# -# Last Update of leap second values: 8 July 2016 -# -# The following line shows this last update date in NTP timestamp -# format.

Therefore, when necessary a "leap second" is applied to UTC. +# Since the adoption of this system in 1972 it has been necessary to add a number of seconds to UTC, +# firstly due to the initial choice of the value of the second (1/86400 mean solar day of +# the year 1820) and secondly to the general slowing down of the Earth's rotation. It is +# theoretically possible to have a negative leap second (a second removed from UTC), but so far, +# all leap seconds have been positive (a second has been added to UTC). Based on what we know about +# the earth's rotation, it is unlikely that we will ever have a negative leap second. +# +# +# HISTORY +# The first leap second was added on June 30, 1972. Until the year 2000, it was necessary in average to add a +# leap second at a rate of 1 to 2 years.
