Microsoft's implementation defines this as a synonym for system_clock::period. It represents a duration of time measured in units of 100 nanoseconds. It also includes the sum of all the leap seconds between Januand the specified duration. Gets a leap_second_info that indicates whether the supplied time specifies a time when a leap second was inserted. Parse a utc_time from the given stream using the specified format. Given the insertion of another 27 leap seconds since then, UTC time is currently 37 seconds behind TAI (atomic clock) time. 10 seconds were added in 1972 to TAI time to accommodate for the leap seconds that had accumulated by that point. UTC time, by definition, starts out 10 seconds behind TAI (atomic time). Historically, leap seconds have been added on June 30 or December 31. When a leap second is inserted, the time, as it nears midnight, proceeds from 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds to 23 hours 59 minutes 60 seconds (the inserted leap second), and then to 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds (midnight). Adding a leap second is referred to as a "leap second insertion". The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) determines when a leap second will be added. A leap second adjustment keeps UTC tracking time within a second of the average length of a day.Īs of this writing, 27 leap seconds have been added since the practice of inserting leap seconds began in 1972. That's because the earth's rotation speed is irregular, and in general is slowing down over time by about one second every 1.5 years (although sometimes the earth's rotation speed increases). There's a discrepancy between the time kept by atomic clocks, and the time kept by tracking the rotation of the earth. However, a leap second is occasionally added to UTC time to keep the difference between UTC time and UT1 (solar time) within +- 0.9 seconds. The rate of UTC time is based on International Atomic Time (TAI) which uses atomic clocks to track time. This clock accounts for leap seconds and is the basis for civil time around the world. This clock measures time since 00:00:00 UTC on Thursday, January 1, 1970. Local time is adjusted from UTC time depending on your time zone. Otherwise, if the hardware clock is set to localtime, more than one operating system may adjust it after a DST change for example, thus resulting in an over-correction problems may also arise when traveling between different time zones and using one of the operating systems to reset the system/hardware clock.A clock for Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) which is sometimes popularly referred to as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Zulu time. If multiple operating systems are installed on a machine, they will all derive the current time from the same hardware clock: it is recommended to adopt a unique standard for the hardware clock to avoid conflicts across systems and set it to UTC.
An OS that uses the UTC standard will generally consider the hardware clock as UTC and make an adjustment to it to set the OS time at boot according to the time zone.

By default, Windows uses localtime, macOS uses UTC, and UNIX-like systems vary. The standard used by the hardware clock (CMOS clock, the BIOS time) is set by the operating system. Though conceptually different, UTC is also known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). The localtime standard is dependent on the current time zone, while UTC is the global time standard and is independent of time zone values. There are two time standards: localtime and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
The Arch Linux wiki explains well the drawbacks of using local time for hardware clock: Most operating system considers the hardware clock to be UTC except Windows for ridiculous compatibility reasons and supposedly to avoid confusing users when setting time via bios (!) (comments on this blog post are worth reading by the way)
We are in 2018, hardware clock should be set to UTC time, even for Windows dual-boot.
