+	tai:
+		This is the tai clock (CLOCK_TAI) and is derived from the wall-
+		clock time. However, this clock does not experience
+		discontinuities and backwards jumps caused by NTP inserting leap
+		seconds. Since the clock access is designed for use in tracing,
+		side effects are possible. The clock access may yield wrong
+		readouts in case the internal TAI offset is updated e.g., caused
+		by setting the system time or using adjtimex() with an offset.
+		These effects are rare and post processing should be able to
+		handle them. See comments in the ktime_get_tai_fast_ns()
+		function for more information.

 	To set a clock, simply echo the clock name into this file::
