Hello Brooks;
[ As discussed on the list many times, POSIX's use of the term "UTC"
in describing "the epoch" as "1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC" is troublesome
because it lies before 1972-01-01T00:00:00 (UTC) in the "rubber band
era", the development period of TAI and UTC when the TAI-UTC offset
was not integral seconds. The name of the timescale and the TAI-UTC
values during that span is somewhat controversial. In any event, as a
practical matter, the origin of POSIX "the epoch" is usually taken to
mean 63072000 seconds
That should be 63072010 seconds (730 days x 86400 plus 10 seconds)
I don't think so. This is POSIX so-called "1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC" not
1588/PTP. 1588/PTP epoch is 10s earlier.
