lib/libc/sys ntp_gettime.2
Log:
Add clarifications about the information that ntp_gettime returns.
TAI is a timescale, just like UTC. The tai field returns the offset
between the two, and isn't really used for precision time keeping.
Explain in brief what a positive and a negative leap seconds are. Add
some URLs to very useful web pages about time and time keeping for
more information on using this API.
