  19. # There were no leap seconds before 1972, because the official mechanism
  20. # accounting for the discrepancy between atomic time and the earth's rotation
  21. # did not exist. The first ("1 Jan 1972") data line in leap-seconds.list
  22. # does not denote a leap second; it denotes the start of the current definition
  23. # of UTC.
  24. # The correction (+ or -) is made at the given time, so lines
  25. # will typically look like:
  26. # Leap YEAR MON DAY 23:59:60 + R/S
  27. # or
  28. # Leap YEAR MON DAY 23:59:59 - R/S
  29. # If the leap second is Rolling (R) the given time is local time (unused here).
