Does REALTIME clock support leap seconds?

Question

I have a call like clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME), does it handle leap seconds? If not, what changes are required? Working on Solaris.

If your Unix system is synchronized with NTP, chances are that it handles leap seconds.

See this article for more information: NTP Leap Second.

you mean, if NTP is up and running it handles leap seconds and we dont have to do anything extra for it? – user1145280 May 31 '12 at 08:06
