On such platforms these entries 10# can be useful if the timezone database is wrong or if a ship or 11# aircraft at sea is not in a timezone. 12 13# Starting with POSIX 1003.1-2001, the entries below are all 14# unnecessary as settings for the TZ environment variable. E.g., 15# instead of TZ='Etc/GMT+4' one can use the POSIX setting TZ='<-04>+4'. 16# 17# Do not use a POSIX TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours 18# behind GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT". 19 20Zone Etc/GMT 0 - GMT 21 22# The following zone is used by tzcode functions like gmtime, 23# which load the "UTC" file to handle seconds properly. 24Zone Etc/UTC 0 - UTC 25 26# The following link uses older naming conventions, 27# but it belongs here, not in the file 'backward', 28# as it is needed for tzcode releases through 2022a, 29# where functions like gmtime load "GMT" instead of the "Etc/UTC". 30# We want this to work even on installations that omit 'backward'. 31Link Etc/GMT GMT 32 33Link Etc/UTC Etc/Universal 34Link Etc/UTC Etc/Zulu 35 36Link Etc/GMT Etc/Greenwich 37Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT-0 38Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT+0 39Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT0 40 41# Be consistent with POSIX TZ settings in the Zone names, 42# even though this is the opposite of what many people expect. 43# POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect 44# positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses 45# the abbreviation "-04" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UT 46# (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to 47# mean 4 hours ahead of UT (i.e. east of Greenwich). 48 49# Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant, 50# and had lines such as 51# Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200 52# We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old 53# way does a 54# zic -l GMT-12 55# so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory. 56# Also, the time zone abbreviations are now compatible with %z. 57 58Zone Etc/GMT-14 14 - +14 59Zone Etc/GMT-13 13 - +13 60Zone Etc/GMT-12 12 - +12 61Zone Etc/GMT-11 11 - +11 62Zone Etc/GMT-10 10 - +10 63Zone Etc/GMT-9 9 - +09 64Zone Etc/GMT-8 8 - +08 65Zone Etc/GMT-7 7 - +07 66Zone Etc/GMT-6 6 - +06 67Zone Etc/GMT-5 5 - +05 68Zone Etc/GMT-4 4 - +04 69Zone Etc/GMT-3 3 - +03 70Zone Etc/GMT-2 2 - +02 71Zone Etc/GMT-1 1 - +01 72Zone Etc/GMT+1 -1 - -01 73Zone Etc/GMT+2 -2 - -02 74Zone Etc/GMT+3 -3 - -03 75Zone Etc/GMT+4 -4 - -04 76Zone Etc/GMT+5 -5 - -05 77Zone Etc/GMT+6 -6 - -06 78Zone Etc/GMT+7 -7 - -07 79Zone Etc/GMT+8 -8 - -08 80Zone Etc/GMT+9 -9 - -09 81Zone Etc/GMT+10 -10 - -10 82Zone Etc/GMT+11 -11 - -11 83Zone Etc/GMT+12 -12 - -12 84
