“Where do I set the hands of the clock?” – Les Tremayne as The King

The Time Zone Database (called tz, tzdb or zoneinfo) contains code and
|
||||
data that represent the history of local time for many representative
|
||||
locations around the globe. It is updated periodically to reflect
|
||||
changes made by political bodies to time zone boundaries, UTC offsets,
|
||||
and daylight-saving rules.
|
||||
|
||||
See <https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tz-link.html> or the
|
||||
file tz-link.html for how to acquire the code and data.
|
||||
|
||||
Once acquired, read the leading comments in the file ‘Makefile’
|
||||
and make any changes needed to make things right for your system,
|
||||
especially when using a platform other than current GNU/Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Then run the following commands, substituting your desired
|
||||
installation directory for ‘$HOME/tzdir’:
|
||||
|
||||
make TOPDIR="$HOME/tzdir" install
|
||||
"$HOME/tzdir/usr/bin/zdump" -v America/Los_Angeles
|
||||
|
||||
See the file tz-how-to.html for examples of how to read the data files.
|
||||
|
||||
This database of historical local time information has several goals:
|
||||
|
||||
* Provide a compendium of data about the history of civil time that
|
||||
is useful even if not 100% accurate.
|
||||
|
||||
* Give an idea of the variety of local time rules that have existed
|
||||
in the past and thus may be expected in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
* Test the generality of the local time rule description system.
|
||||
|
||||
The information in the time zone data files is by no means authoritative;
|
||||
fixes and enhancements are welcome. Please see the file CONTRIBUTING
|
||||
for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to these Time Zone Caballeros who’ve made major contributions to the
|
||||
time conversion package: Keith Bostic; Bob Devine; Paul Eggert; Robert Elz;
|
||||
Guy Harris; Mark Horton; John Mackin; and Bradley White. Thanks also to
|
||||
Michael Bloom, Art Neilson, Stephen Prince, John Sovereign, and Frank Wales
|
||||
for testing work, and to Gwillim Law for checking local mean time data.
|
||||
Thanks in particular to Arthur David Olson, the project’s founder and first
|
||||
maintainer, to whom the time zone community owes the greatest debt of all.
|
||||
None of them are responsible for remaining errors.
