  36 # The International Earth Rotation Service periodically uses leap seconds
  37 # to keep UTC to within 0.9 s of UT1
  38 # (which measures the true angular orientation of the earth in space); see
  39 # Terry J Quinn, The BIPM and the accurate measure of time,
  40 # Proc IEEE 79, 7 (July 1991), 894-905 <http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/5.84965>.
  41 # There were no leap seconds before 1972, because the official mechanism
  42 # accounting for the discrepancy between atomic time and the earth's rotation
  43 # did not exist until the early 1970s.
  44 
  45 # The correction (+ or -) is made at the given time, so lines
  46 # will typically look like:
  47 #       Leap    YEAR    MON     DAY     23:59:60        +       R/S
  48 # or
  49 #       Leap    YEAR    MON     DAY     23:59:59        -       R/S
  50 
  51 # If the leapsecond is Rolling (R) the given time is local time.
  52 # If the leapsecond is Stationary (S) the given time is UTC.

  54 # Leap  YEAR    MONTH   DAY     HH:MM:SS        CORR    R/S
