# Generate zic format 'leapseconds' from NIST/IERS 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.
