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 allows for
40# TZ='<GMT-4>+4'; if you want time zone abbreviations conforming to
41# ISO 8601 you can use TZ='<-0400>+4'. Thus the commonly-expected
42# offset is kept within the angle bracket (and is used for display)
43# while the POSIX sign is kept outside the angle bracket (and is used
44# for calculation).
45#
46# Do not use a TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours behind
47# GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT".
