Expand description

Number of current leap seconds applicable to UTC compared to TAI

This is the variable part of the offset between:

  • TAI (also PTP time)
  • and UTC (also NTP time, UNIX time).

Note that this doesn’t account for the constant difference in epochs. See: UNIX_TO_NTP_TIME_OFFSET_SECONDS, UNIX_TO_PTP_TIME_OFFSET_SECONDS & NTP_TO_PTP_TIME_OFFSET_SECONDS.

Defaults to UTC_TO_TAI_LEAP_SECONDS_DEFAULT if the environment variable named by UTC_TO_TAI_LEAP_SECONDS_ENV_VAR is not defined or invalid.
