Guys, As long as you have the current NIST leapseconds file and recent NTP distribution, the TAI-UTC offset is provided automatically in the tai member of the ntp_gettime() structure. Provision for this member might not be universal in various operating systems. The /usr/include/sys/timex.h heaer file should reveal the truth.
