1 # tzdb data for ships at sea and other miscellany
3 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of
4 # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson.
6 # These entries are for uses not otherwise covered by the tz database.
7 # Their main practical use is for platforms like Android that lack
8 # support for POSIX-style TZ strings. On such platforms these entries
9 # can be useful if the timezone database is wrong or if a ship or
10 # aircraft at sea is not in a timezone.
12 # Starting with POSIX 1003.1-2001, the entries below are all
13 # unnecessary as settings for the TZ environment variable. E.g.,
14 # instead of TZ='Etc/GMT+4' one can use the POSIX setting TZ='<-04>+4'.
16 # Do not use a POSIX TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours
17 # behind GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT".
22 # The following link uses older naming conventions,
23 # but it belongs here, not in the file 'backward',
24 # as functions like gmtime load the "GMT" file to handle leap seconds properly.
25 # We want this to work even on installations that omit the other older names.
28 Link Etc/UTC Etc/Universal
31 Link Etc/GMT Etc/Greenwich
32 Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT-0
33 Link Etc/GMT Etc/GMT+0
36 # Be consistent with POSIX TZ settings in the Zone names,
37 # even though this is the opposite of what many people expect.
38 # POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect
39 # positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses
40 # the abbreviation "-04" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UT
41 # (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to
42 # mean 4 hours ahead of UT (i.e. east of Greenwich).
44 # Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant,
45 # and had lines such as
46 # Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200
47 # We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old
50 # so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory.
51 # Also, the time zone abbreviations are now compatible with %z.
