LeapSecond Structure |
Describes a single leap second.
Namespace: AGI.Foundation.Time
Assembly: AGI.Foundation.Core (in AGI.Foundation.Core.dll) Version: 24.3.420.0 (24.3.420.0)
SyntaxThe LeapSecond type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | LeapSecond(Double, Double) |
Initializes a new instance.
|
| LeapSecond(JulianDate, Double) |
Initializes a new instance of a Leap Second.
|
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Date |
Gets the date of the leap second.
|
| TotalTaiOffsetFromUtc |
Gets the total difference TAI - UTC after this leap second, in seconds.
|
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals(LeapSecond) |
Indicates whether another instance of this type is exactly equal to this instance.
|
| Equals(Object) |
Indicates whether another object is exactly equal to this instance.
(Overrides ValueTypeEquals(Object).) |
| GetHashCode |
Returns a hash code for this instance, which is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
(Overrides ValueTypeGetHashCode.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString |
Returns the date of this LeapSecond and offset from UTC as a string.
(Overrides ValueTypeToString.) |
Operators| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | Equality |
Returns if the two instances are exactly equal.
|
| Inequality |
Returns if the two instances are not exactly equal.

Remarks
The International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) periodically introduces an intercalary adjustment
to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time scale in order to keep it in close agreement with the
Universal Time (UT1) time scale. This adjustment amounts to a one second discontinuity, a leap second,
in the UTC time scale that, in addition to the UT1 time scales, also affects transformations to
other continuous time scales. Since the inception of leap seconds, all adjustments have been
performed either at the end of 30 June or 31 December UTC though a leap second could, by rule,
be applied at the end of any month.
