-# Generate the 'leapseconds' file from 'leap-seconds.list'.

+# 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.
