Leap seconds are corrections applied irregularly so that the UTC day stays fixed to the earth's rotation.
This module provides a class for parsing and validating the standard
leap-seconds.list
file. Once parsed, it is possible to retrieve the
full list of leap seconds, or find the TAI-UTC offset for any UTC time.
Access leap second data from the command line.
