153813Simp# <pre> 2120330Simp# This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of 3100213Simp# 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. 452506Simp 552506Simp# These entries are mostly present for historical reasons, so that 6140752Simp# people in areas not otherwise covered by the tz files could "zic -l" 752506Simp# to a time zone that was right for their area. These days, the 852506Simp# tz files cover almost all the inhabited world, and the only practical 952506Simp# need now for the entries that are not on UTC are for ships at sea 1052506Simp# that cannot use POSIX TZ settings. 1152506Simp 1252506SimpZone Etc/GMT 0 - GMT 1352506SimpZone Etc/UTC 0 - UTC 1452506SimpZone Etc/UCT 0 - UCT 1552506Simp 1652506Simp# The following link uses older naming conventions, 1752506Simp# but it belongs here, not in the file `backward', 1852506Simp# as functions like gmtime load the "UTC" file to handle leap seconds properly. 1952506Simp# We want this to work even on installations that omit the other older names. 2052506SimpLink Etc/UTC UTC 2152506Simp 2252506SimpLink Etc/UTC Etc/Universal 2352506SimpLink Etc/UTC Etc/Zulu 2452506Simp 2552506SimpLink Etc/GMT Etc/Greenwich 2652506SimpLink Etc/GMT Etc/GMT-0 2752506SimpLink Etc/GMT Etc/GMT+0 2852506SimpLink Etc/GMT Etc/GMT0 2952506Simp 3052506Simp# We use POSIX-style signs in the Zone names and the output abbreviations, 3152506Simp# even though this is the opposite of what many people expect. 3252506Simp# POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect 3352506Simp# positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses 3452506Simp# the abbreviation "GMT+4" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UT 3552506Simp# (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to 3652506Simp# mean 4 hours ahead of UT (i.e. east of Greenwich). 3752506Simp# 3852506Simp# In the draft 5 of POSIX 1003.1-200x, the angle bracket notation allows for 3952506Simp# TZ='<GMT-4>+4'; if you want time zone abbreviations conforming to 4052506Simp# ISO 8601 you can use TZ='<-0400>+4'. Thus the commonly-expected 41140752Simp# offset is kept within the angle bracket (and is used for display) 42140752Simp# while the POSIX sign is kept outside the angle bracket (and is used 43140752Simp# for calculation). 44140752Simp# 45140752Simp# Do not use a TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours behind 46140752Simp# GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT". 47140752Simp 48140752Simp# Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant, 49140752Simp# and had lines such as 50140752Simp# Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200 51140752Simp# We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old 52140752Simp# way does a 53140752Simp# zic -l GMT-12 54140752Simp# so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory. 55140752Simp 56140752SimpZone Etc/GMT-14 14 - GMT-14 # 14 hours ahead of GMT 57140752SimpZone Etc/GMT-13 13 - GMT-13 58140752SimpZone Etc/GMT-12 12 - GMT-12 59140752SimpZone Etc/GMT-11 11 - GMT-11 60140752SimpZone Etc/GMT-10 10 - GMT-10 61140752SimpZone Etc/GMT-9 9 - GMT-9 62140752SimpZone Etc/GMT-8 8 - GMT-8 63140752SimpZone Etc/GMT-7 7 - GMT-7 64140752SimpZone Etc/GMT-6 6 - GMT-6 65140752SimpZone Etc/GMT-5 5 - GMT-5 66140752SimpZone Etc/GMT-4 4 - GMT-4 67140752SimpZone Etc/GMT-3 3 - GMT-3 6852506SimpZone Etc/GMT-2 2 - GMT-2 69140749SimpZone Etc/GMT-1 1 - GMT-1 70140749SimpZone Etc/GMT+1 -1 - GMT+1 71140749SimpZone Etc/GMT+2 -2 - GMT+2 72140749SimpZone Etc/GMT+3 -3 - GMT+3 73140749SimpZone Etc/GMT+4 -4 - GMT+4 74149869SimpZone Etc/GMT+5 -5 - GMT+5 75149869SimpZone Etc/GMT+6 -6 - GMT+6 76149561SimpZone Etc/GMT+7 -7 - GMT+7 77149869SimpZone Etc/GMT+8 -8 - GMT+8 78149869SimpZone Etc/GMT+9 -9 - GMT+9 7952506SimpZone Etc/GMT+10 -10 - GMT+10 80140793SimpZone Etc/GMT+11 -11 - GMT+11 81140793SimpZone Etc/GMT+12 -12 - GMT+12 8258545Simp
