tz database which @code{chronyd} can use to find out when will the
next leap second occur. It will periodically check if the times
23:59:59 and 23:59:60 are valid on Jun 30 and Dec 31 in the timezone.
+A useful timezone is @code{right/UTC}.
This is mainly useful with reference clocks which don't provide the
leap second information. It is not necessary to restart
@code{chronyd} if the tz database is updated with a new leap second at
leapsectz right/UTC
@end example
+The following shell command verifies that the timezone contains leap
+seconds and can be used with this directive
+
+@example
+$ TZ=right/UTC date -d 'Dec 31 2008 23:59:60'
+Wed Dec 31 23:59:60 UTC 2008
+@end example
