These days, the 30# tz files cover almost all the inhabited world, and the only practical 31# need now for the entries that are not on UTC are for ships at sea 32# that cannot use POSIX TZ settings. 33 34Zone Etc/GMT 0 - GMT 35Zone Etc/UTC 0 - UTC 36Zone Etc/UCT 0 - UCT 37 38# The following link uses older naming conventions, 39# but it belongs here, not in the file 'backward', 40# as functions like gmtime load the "GMT" file to handle leap seconds properly. 41# We want this to work even on installations that omit the other older names. 42Link Etc/GMT GMT 43 44Link Etc/UTC Etc/Universal 45Link Etc/UTC Etc/Zulu 46 47Link Etc/GMT Etc/Greenwich 48Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT-0 49Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT+0 50Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT0 51 52# We use POSIX-style signs in the Zone names and the output abbreviations, 53# even though this is the opposite of what many people expect. 54# POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect 55# positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses 56# the abbreviation "GMT+4" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UT 57# (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to 58# mean 4 hours ahead of UT (i.e. east of Greenwich). 59# 60# In the draft 5 of POSIX 1003.1-200x, the angle bracket notation allows for 61# TZ='<GMT-4>+4'; if you want time zone abbreviations conforming to 62# ISO 8601 you can use TZ='<-0400>+4'. Thus the commonly-expected 63# offset is kept within the angle bracket (and is used for display) 64# while the POSIX sign is kept outside the angle bracket (and is used 65# for calculation). 66# 67# Do not use a TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours behind 68# GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT". 69 70# Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant, 71# and had lines such as 72# Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200 73# We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old 74# way does a 75# zic -l GMT-12 76# so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory. 77 78Zone Etc/GMT-14 14 - GMT-14 # 14 hours ahead of GMT 79Zone Etc/GMT-13 13 - GMT-13 80Zone Etc/GMT-12 12 - GMT-12 81Zone Etc/GMT-11 11 - GMT-11 82Zone Etc/GMT-10 10 - GMT-10 83Zone Etc/GMT-9 9 - GMT-9 84Zone Etc/GMT-8 8 - GMT-8 85Zone Etc/GMT-7 7 - GMT-7 86Zone Etc/GMT-6 6 - GMT-6 87Zone Etc/GMT-5 5 - GMT-5 88Zone Etc/GMT-4 4 - GMT-4 89Zone Etc/GMT-3 3 - GMT-3 90Zone Etc/GMT-2 2 - GMT-2 91Zone Etc/GMT-1 1 - GMT-1 92Zone Etc/GMT+1 -1 - GMT+1 93Zone Etc/GMT+2 -2 - GMT+2 94Zone Etc/GMT+3 -3 - GMT+3 95Zone Etc/GMT+4 -4 - GMT+4 96Zone Etc/GMT+5 -5 - GMT+5 97Zone Etc/GMT+6 -6 - GMT+6 98Zone Etc/GMT+7 -7 - GMT+7 99Zone Etc/GMT+8 -8 - GMT+8 100Zone Etc/GMT+9 -9 - GMT+9 101Zone Etc/GMT+10 -10 - GMT+10 102Zone Etc/GMT+11 -11 - GMT+11 103Zone Etc/GMT+12 -12 - GMT+12 104
