1# This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of 2# 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. 3 4# These entries are mostly present for historical reasons, so that 5# people in areas not otherwise covered by the tz files could "zic -l" 6# to a time zone that was right for their area. These days, the 7# tz files cover almost all the inhabited world, and the only practical 8# need now for the entries that are not on UTC are for ships at sea 9# that cannot use POSIX TZ settings. 10 11Zone Etc/GMT 0 - GMT 12Zone Etc/UTC 0 - UTC 13Zone Etc/UCT 0 - UCT 14 15# The following link uses older naming conventions, 16# but it belongs here, not in the file 'backward', 17# as functions like gmtime load the "UTC" file to handle leap seconds properly. 18# We want this to work even on installations that omit the other older names. 19Link Etc/UTC UTC 20 21Link Etc/UTC Etc/Universal 22Link Etc/UTC Etc/Zulu 23 24Link Etc/GMT Etc/Greenwich 25Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT-0 26Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT+0 27Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT0 28 29# We use POSIX-style signs in the Zone names and the output abbreviations, 30# even though this is the opposite of what many people expect. 31# POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect 32# positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses 33# the abbreviation "GMT+4" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UT 34# (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to 35# mean 4 hours ahead of UT (i.e. east of Greenwich). 36# 37# In the draft 5 of POSIX 1003.1-200x, the angle bracket notation allows for 38# TZ='<GMT-4>+4'; if you want time zone abbreviations conforming to 39# ISO 8601 you can use TZ='<-0400>+4'. Thus the commonly-expected 40# offset is kept within the angle bracket (and is used for display) 41# while the POSIX sign is kept outside the angle bracket (and is used 42# for calculation). 43# 44# Do not use a TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours behind 45# GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT". 46 47# Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant, 48# and had lines such as 49# Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200 50# We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old 51# way does a 52# zic -l GMT-12 53# so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory. 54 55Zone Etc/GMT-14 14 - GMT-14 # 14 hours ahead of GMT 56Zone Etc/GMT-13 13 - GMT-13 57Zone Etc/GMT-12 12 - GMT-12 58Zone Etc/GMT-11 11 - GMT-11 59Zone Etc/GMT-10 10 - GMT-10 60Zone Etc/GMT-9 9 - GMT-9 61Zone Etc/GMT-8 8 - GMT-8 62Zone Etc/GMT-7 7 - GMT-7 63Zone Etc/GMT-6 6 - GMT-6 64Zone Etc/GMT-5 5 - GMT-5 65Zone Etc/GMT-4 4 - GMT-4 66Zone Etc/GMT-3 3 - GMT-3 67Zone Etc/GMT-2 2 - GMT-2 68Zone Etc/GMT-1 1 - GMT-1 69Zone Etc/GMT+1 -1 - GMT+1 70Zone Etc/GMT+2 -2 - GMT+2 71Zone Etc/GMT+3 -3 - GMT+3 72Zone Etc/GMT+4 -4 - GMT+4 73Zone Etc/GMT+5 -5 - GMT+5 74Zone Etc/GMT+6 -6 - GMT+6 75Zone Etc/GMT+7 -7 - GMT+7 76Zone Etc/GMT+8 -8 - GMT+8 77Zone Etc/GMT+9 -9 - GMT+9 78Zone Etc/GMT+10 -10 - GMT+10 79Zone Etc/GMT+11 -11 - GMT+11 80Zone Etc/GMT+12 -12 - GMT+12 81
