These days, the +# tz files cover almost all the inhabited world, and the only practical +# need now for the entries that are not on UTC are for ships at sea +# that cannot use POSIX TZ settings. + +Zone Etc/GMT 0 - GMT +Zone Etc/UTC 0 - UTC +Zone Etc/UCT 0 - UCT + +# The following link uses older naming conventions, +# but it belongs here, not in the file `backward', +# as functions like gmtime load the "GMT" file to handle leap seconds properly. +# We want this to work even on installations that omit the other older names. +Link Etc/GMT GMT + +Link Etc/UTC Etc/Universal +Link Etc/UTC Etc/Zulu + +Link Etc/GMT Etc/Greenwich +Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT-0 +Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT+0 +Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT0 + +# We use POSIX-style signs in the Zone names and the output abbreviations, +# even though this is the opposite of what many people expect. +# POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect +# positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses +# the abbreviation "GMT+4" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UTC +# (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to +# mean 4 hours ahead of UTC (i.e. east of Greenwich). +# +# In the draft 5 of POSIX 1003.1-200x, the angle bracket notation allows for +# TZ='<GMT-4>+4'; if you want time zone abbreviations conforming to +# ISO 8601 you can use TZ='<-0400>+4'. Thus the commonly-expected +# offset is kept within the angle bracket (and is used for display) +# while the POSIX sign is kept outside the angle bracket (and is used +# for calculation). +# +# Do not use a TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours behind +# GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT". + +# Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant, +# and had lines such as +# Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200 +# We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old +# way does a +# zic -l GMT-12 +# so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory. + +Zone Etc/GMT-14 14 - GMT-14 # 14 hours ahead of GMT +Zone Etc/GMT-13 13 - GMT-13 +Zone Etc/GMT-12 12 - GMT-12 +Zone Etc/GMT-11 11 - GMT-11 +Zone Etc/GMT-10 10 - GMT-10 +Zone Etc/GMT-9 9 - GMT-9 +Zone Etc/GMT-8 8 - GMT-8 +Zone Etc/GMT-7 7 - GMT-7 +Zone Etc/GMT-6 6 - GMT-6 +Zone Etc/GMT-5 5 - GMT-5 +Zone Etc/GMT-4 4 - GMT-4 +Zone Etc/GMT-3 3 - GMT-3 +Zone Etc/GMT-2 2 - GMT-2 +Zone Etc/GMT-1 1 - GMT-1 +Zone Etc/GMT+1 -1 - GMT+1 +Zone Etc/GMT+2 -2 - GMT+2 +Zone Etc/GMT+3 -3 - GMT+3 +Zone Etc/GMT+4 -4 - GMT+4 +Zone Etc/GMT+5 -5 - GMT+5 +Zone Etc/GMT+6 -6 - GMT+6 +Zone Etc/GMT+7 -7 - GMT+7 +Zone Etc/GMT+8 -8 - GMT+8 +Zone Etc/GMT+9 -9 - GMT+9 +Zone Etc/GMT+10 -10 - GMT+10 +Zone Etc/GMT+11 -11 - GMT+11 +Zone Etc/GMT+12 -12 - GMT+12 |
