+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>The <filename>/etc/timezone</filename> file
+ configures the system-wide time zone of the local
+ system that is used by applications for presentation
+ to the user. It should contain a single
+ newline-terminated line consisting of a time zone
+ identifier such as
+ <literal>Europe/Berlin</literal>. The file
+ <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> corresponds with
+ <filename>/etc/timezone</filename> and contains the
+ binary time zone data for the time zone. These files
+ should always be changed simultaneously and kept in
+ sync.</para>
+
+ <para>The time zone may be overridden for individual
+ programs by using the TZ environment variable. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
