While it can't rewrite history, look at NTP autokey, which can automatically distribute the information necessary to keep things right. ( http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/leap-seconds.3169152000 ) Also see libtai ( http://cr.yp.to/libtai.html ), which does those calculations. TAI64 also fixes the 2038 problem. >Another useful thing would be a function that returns the UTC-TAI difference >at a given time. ntp_gettime(), at least for the current time. By using libtai, the calculation for any given time should be trivial. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
