effectively implies that POSIX time_t's cannot include leap +seconds and, +therefore, +that the system time must be adjusted as each leap occurs. +.PP +If the time package is configured with leap-second support +enabled, +however, +no such adjustment is needed and +time_t values continue to increase over leap events +(as a true `seconds since...' value). +This means that these values will differ from those required by POSIX +by the net number of leap seconds inserted since the Epoch. +.PP +Typically this is not a problem as the type time_t is intended +to be +(mostly) +opaque\(emtime_t values should only be obtained-from and +passed-to functions such as +.IR time(2) , +.IR localtime(3) , +.IR mktime(3) , +and +.IR difftime(3) . +However, +POSIX gives an arithmetic +expression for directly computing a time_t value from a given date/time, +and the same relationship is assumed by some +(usually older) +applications. +Any programs creating/dissecting time_t's +using such a relationship will typically not handle intervals +over leap seconds correctly. +.PP +The +.I time2posix +and +.I posix2time +functions are provided to address this time_t mismatch by converting +between local time_t values and their POSIX equivalents. +This is done by accounting for the number of time-base changes that +would have taken place on a POSIX system as leap seconds were inserted +or deleted. +These converted values can then be used in lieu of correcting the older +applications, +or when communicating with POSIX-compliant systems. +.PP +.I Time2posix +is single-valued. +That is, +every local time_t +corresponds to a single POSIX time_t. +.I Posix2time +is less well-behaved: +for a positive leap second hit the result is not unique, +and for a negative leap second hit the corresponding +POSIX time_t doesn't exist so an adjacent value is returned. +Both of these are good indicators of the inferiority of the +POSIX representation. +.PP +The following table summarizes the
