# Generate zic format 'leapseconds' from NIST format 'leap-seconds.list'. # This file is in the public domain. # This program uses awk arithmetic. POSIX requires awk to support # exact integer arithmetic only through 10**10, which means for NTP # timestamps this program works only to the year 2216, which is the # year 1900 plus 10**10 seconds. However, in practice # POSIX-conforming awk implementations invariably use IEEE-754 double # and so support exact integers through 2**53. By the year 2216, # POSIX will almost surely require at least 2**53 for awk, so for NTP # timestamps this program should be good until the year 285,428,681 # (the year 1900 plus 2**53 seconds). By then leap seconds will be # long obsolete, as the Earth will likely slow down so much that # there will be more than 25 hours per day and so some other scheme # will be needed.
