1192886Sedwin# <pre> 2192886Sedwin# @(#)etcetera 8.2 3192886Sedwin# This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of 4192886Sedwin# 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. 52744Swollman 620091Swollman# These entries are mostly present for historical reasons, so that 720091Swollman# people in areas not otherwise covered by the tz files could "zic -l" 820091Swollman# to a time zone that was right for their area. These days, the 9149511Swollman# tz files cover almost all the inhabited world, and the only practical 10149511Swollman# need now for the entries that are not on UTC are for ships at sea 11149511Swollman# that cannot use POSIX TZ settings. 122744Swollman 132744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT 0 - GMT 1420091SwollmanZone Etc/UTC 0 - UTC 1520091SwollmanZone Etc/UCT 0 - UCT 1620091Swollman 1743009Swollman# The following link uses older naming conventions, 1843009Swollman# but it belongs here, not in the file `backward', 19199405Sobrien# as functions like gmtime load the "UTC" file to handle leap seconds properly. 2043009Swollman# We want this to work even on installations that omit the other older names. 21199405SobrienLink Etc/UTC UTC 2243009Swollman 2320091SwollmanLink Etc/UTC Etc/Universal 2420091SwollmanLink Etc/UTC Etc/Zulu 2520091Swollman 262744SwollmanLink Etc/GMT Etc/Greenwich 272744SwollmanLink Etc/GMT Etc/GMT-0 282744SwollmanLink Etc/GMT Etc/GMT+0 292744SwollmanLink Etc/GMT Etc/GMT0 302744Swollman 3175264Swollman# We use POSIX-style signs in the Zone names and the output abbreviations, 3275264Swollman# even though this is the opposite of what many people expect. 3375264Swollman# POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect 3475264Swollman# positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses 3575264Swollman# the abbreviation "GMT+4" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UTC 3675264Swollman# (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to 3775264Swollman# mean 4 hours ahead of UTC (i.e. east of Greenwich). 3875264Swollman# 3975264Swollman# In the draft 5 of POSIX 1003.1-200x, the angle bracket notation 4075264Swollman# (which is not yet supported by the tz code) allows for 4175264Swollman# TZ='<GMT-4>+4'; if you want time zone abbreviations conforming to 4275264Swollman# ISO 8601 you can use TZ='<-0400>+4'. Thus the commonly-expected 4375264Swollman# offset is kept within the angle bracket (and is used for display) 4475264Swollman# while the POSIX sign is kept outside the angle bracket (and is used 4575264Swollman# for calculation). 4675264Swollman# 4775264Swollman# Do not use a TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours behind 4875264Swollman# GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT". 492744Swollman 502744Swollman# Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant, 512744Swollman# and had lines such as 522744Swollman# Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200 532744Swollman# We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old 542744Swollman# way does a 552744Swollman# zic -l GMT-12 562744Swollman# so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory. 572744Swollman 5814709SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-14 14 - GMT-14 # 14 hours ahead of GMT 5914709SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-13 13 - GMT-13 602744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-12 12 - GMT-12 612744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-11 11 - GMT-11 622744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-10 10 - GMT-10 632744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-9 9 - GMT-9 642744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-8 8 - GMT-8 652744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-7 7 - GMT-7 662744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-6 6 - GMT-6 672744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-5 5 - GMT-5 682744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-4 4 - GMT-4 692744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-3 3 - GMT-3 702744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-2 2 - GMT-2 712744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT-1 1 - GMT-1 722744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT+1 -1 - GMT+1 732744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT+2 -2 - GMT+2 742744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT+3 -3 - GMT+3 752744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT+4 -4 - GMT+4 762744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT+5 -5 - GMT+5 772744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT+6 -6 - GMT+6 782744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT+7 -7 - GMT+7 792744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT+8 -8 - GMT+8 802744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT+9 -9 - GMT+9 812744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT+10 -10 - GMT+10 822744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT+11 -11 - GMT+11 832744SwollmanZone Etc/GMT+12 -12 - GMT+12 84
