These days, the 9 # tz files cover almost all the inhabited world, and the only practical 10 # need now for the entries that are not on UTC are for ships at sea 11 # that cannot use POSIX TZ settings. 12 13 Zone Etc/GMT 0 - GMT 14 Zone Etc/UTC 0 - UTC 15 Zone Etc/UCT 0 - UCT 16 17 # The following link uses older naming conventions, 18 # but it belongs here, not in the file `backward', 19 # as functions like gmtime load the "GMT" file to handle leap seconds properly. 20 # We want this to work even on installations that omit the other older names. 21 Link Etc/GMT GMT 22 23 Link Etc/UTC Etc/Universal 24 Link Etc/UTC Etc/Zulu 25 26 Link Etc/GMT Etc/Greenwich 27 Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT-0 28 Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT+0 29 Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT0 30 31 # We use POSIX-style signs in the Zone names and the output abbreviations, 32 # even though this is the opposite of what many people expect. 33 # POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect 34 # positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses 35 # the abbreviation "GMT+4" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UTC 36 # (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to 37 # mean 4 hours ahead of UTC (i.e. east of Greenwich). 38 # 39 # In the draft 5 of POSIX 1003.1-200x, the angle bracket notation 40 # (which is not yet supported by the tz code) allows for 41 # TZ='<GMT-4>+4'; if you want time zone abbreviations conforming to 42 # ISO 8601 you can use TZ='<-0400>+4'. Thus the commonly-expected 43 # offset is kept within the angle bracket (and is used for display) 44 # while the POSIX sign is kept outside the angle bracket (and is used 45 # for calculation). 46 # 47 # Do not use a TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours behind 48 # GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT". 49 50 # Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant, 51 # and had lines such as 52 # Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200 53 # We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old 54 # way does a 55 # zic -l GMT-12 56 # so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory. 57 58 Zone Etc/GMT-14 14 - GMT-14 # 14 hours ahead of GMT 59 Zone Etc/GMT-13 13 - GMT-13 60 Zone Etc/GMT-12 12 - GMT-12 61 Zone Etc/GMT-11 11 - GMT-11 62 Zone Etc/GMT-10 10 - GMT-10 63 Zone Etc/GMT-9 9 - GMT-9 64 Zone Etc/GMT-8 8 - GMT-8 65 Zone Etc/GMT-7 7 - GMT-7 66 Zone Etc/GMT-6 6 - GMT-6 67 Zone Etc/GMT-5 5 - GMT-5 68 Zone Etc/GMT-4 4 - GMT-4 69 Zone Etc/GMT-3 3 - GMT-3 70 Zone Etc/GMT-2 2 - GMT-2 71 Zone Etc/GMT-1 1 - GMT-1 72 Zone Etc/GMT+1 -1 - GMT+1 73 Zone Etc/GMT+2 -2 - GMT+2 74 Zone Etc/GMT+3 -3 - GMT+3 75 Zone Etc/GMT+4 -4 - GMT+4 76 Zone Etc/GMT+5 -5 - GMT+5 77 Zone Etc/GMT+6 -6 - GMT+6 78 Zone Etc/GMT+7 -7 - GMT+7 79 Zone Etc/GMT+8 -8 - GMT+8 80 Zone Etc/GMT+9 -9 - GMT+9 81 Zone Etc/GMT+10 -10 - GMT+10 82 Zone Etc/GMT+11 -11 - GMT+11 83 Zone Etc/GMT+12 -12 - GMT+12 84
