13# There were no leap seconds before 1972, because the official mechanism
14# accounting for the discrepancy between atomic time and the earth's rotation
15# did not exist until the early 1970s.
16
17# The correction (+ or -) is made at the given time, so lines
18# will typically look like:
19# Leap YEAR MON DAY 23:59:60 + R/S
20# or
21# Leap YEAR MON DAY 23:59:59 - R/S
22
23# If the leapsecond is Rolling (R) the given time is local time
74015205 24# If the leapsecond is Stationary (S) the given time is UTC
