Empirically, this seems to assume time_t of TAI-10. This isn't GPS, which I understand to be TAI-19: http://www.bipm.org/utils/en/pdf/time_ann_rep/Time_annual_report_2015/25_utc...
TAI-10 is (accidentally?) the epoch of the IBM z/OS TOD clock.
I find a couple references to "zoneinfo/right" in Makefile and NEWS. Is there more complete documentation of "right" and its rationale elsewhere?
TAI - 10 is the time scale that was adopted by USNO navigational systems (OMEGA, TRANSIT, LORAN-C) starting 1972-01-01 in order that they could continue to provide a continuous count of elapsed seconds since their inception. TAI - 10 corresponds to the number of second markers with nameable time tags that have been broadcast by radio broadcast time signal systems that conform to CCIR recommendation 460 since its inception on 1972-01-01. -- Steve Allen <sla@ucolick.org> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB 260 Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 https://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m
