README for the tz distribution
"Where do I set the hands of the clock?" -- Les Tremayne as The King
"Oh that--you can set them any place you want." -- Frank Baxter as The Scientist
(from the Bell System film "About Time")
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 comments in the file 'Makefile' and make any changes needed
to make things right for your system, especially if you are using some
platform other than 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
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.
