Unfortunately, the POSIX.1 TZ string takes - a form that is hard to describe and is error-prone in practice. - Also, POSIX.1 TZ strings can't deal with other (for example, Israeli) - daylight saving time rules, or situations where more than two - time zone abbreviations are used in an area. - - The POSIX.1 TZ string takes the following form: - - stdoffset[dst[offset],date[/time],date[/time]] - - where: - - std and dst - are 3 or more characters specifying the standard - and daylight saving time (DST) zone names. - offset - is of the form `[-]hh:[mm[:ss]]' and specifies the - offset west of UTC. The default DST offset is one hour - ahead of standard time. - date[/time],date[/time] - specifies the beginning and end of DST. If this is absent, - the system supplies its own rules for DST, and these can - differ from year to year; typically US DST rules are used. - time - takes the form `hh:[mm[:ss]]' and defaults to 02:00. - date - takes one of the following forms: - Jn (1<=n<=365) - origin-1 day number not counting February 29 - n (0<=n<=365) - origin-0 day number counting February 29 if present - Mm.n.d (0[Sunday]<=d<=6[Saturday], 1<=n<=5, 1<=m<=12) - for the dth day of week n of month m of the year, - where week 1 is the first week in which day d appears, - and `5' stands for the last week in which day d appears - (which may be either the 4th or 5th week). - -* In POSIX.1, when a TZ value like "EST5EDT" is parsed, - typically the current US DST rules are used, - but this means that the US DST rules are compiled into each program - that does time conversion. This means that when US time conversion - rules change (as in the United States in 1987), all programs that - do time conversion must be recompiled to ensure proper results. - -* In POSIX.1, there's no tamper-proof way for a process to learn the - system's best idea of local wall clock. (This is important for - applications that an administrator wants used only at certain times-- - without regard to whether the user has fiddled the "TZ" environment - variable. While an administrator can "do everything in UTC" to get - around the problem, doing so is inconvenient and precludes handling - daylight saving time shifts--as might be required to limit phone - calls to off-peak hours.) - -* POSIX.1 requires that systems ignore leap seconds. - -These are the extensions that have been made to the POSIX.1 functions: - -* The "TZ" environment variable is used in generating the name of a file - from which time zone information is read (or is interpreted a la - POSIX); "TZ" is no longer constrained to be a three-letter time zone - name followed by a number of hours and an optional three-letter - daylight time zone name. The daylight saving time rules to be used - for a particular time zone are encoded in the time zone file; - the format of the file allows U.S., Australian, and other rules to be - encoded, and allows for situations where more than two time zone - abbreviations are used. - - It was recognized that allowing the "TZ" environment variable to - take on values such as "America/New_York" might cause "old" programs - (that expect "TZ" to have a certain form) to operate incorrectly; - consideration was given to using some other environment variable - (for example, "TIMEZONE") to hold the string used to generate the - time zone information file name. In the end, however, it was decided - to continue using "TZ": it is widely used for time zone purposes; - separately maintaining both "TZ" and "TIMEZONE" seemed a nuisance; - and systems where "new" forms of "TZ" might cause problems can simply - use TZ values such as "EST5EDT" which can be used both by - "new" programs (a la POSIX) and "old" programs (as zone names and - offsets). - -* To handle places where more than two time zone abbreviations are used, - the functions "localtime" and "gmtime" set tzname[tmp->tm_isdst] - (where "tmp" is the value the function returns) to the time zone - abbreviation to be used. This differs from POSIX.1, where the elements - of tzname are only changed as a result of calls to tzset. - -* Since the "TZ" environment variable can now be used to control time - conversion, the "daylight" and "timezone" variables are no longer - needed. (These variables are defined and set by "tzset"; however, their - values will not be used by "localtime.") - -* The "localtime" function has been set up to deliver correct results - for near-minimum or near-maximum time_t values. (A comment in the - source code tells how to get compatibly wrong results). - -* A function "tzsetwall" has been added to arrange for the system's - best approximation to local wall clock time to be delivered by - subsequent calls to "localtime." Source code for portable - applications that "must" run on local wall clock time should call - "tzsetwall();" if such code is moved to "old" systems that don't - provide tzsetwall, you won't be able to generate an executable program. - (These time zone functions also arrange for local wall clock time to be - used if tzset is called--directly or indirectly--and there's no "TZ" - environment variable; portable applications should not, however, rely - on this behavior since it's not the way SVR2 systems behave.) - -* These functions can account for leap seconds, thanks to Bradley White - (bww@k.cs.cmu.edu). - -Points of interest to folks with other systems: - -* This package is already part of many POSIX-compliant hosts, - including BSD, HP, Linux, Network Appliance, SCO, SGI, and Sun. - On such hosts, the primary use of this package - is to update obsolete time zone rule tables. - To do this, you may need to compile the time zone compiler - `zic' supplied with this package instead of using the system `zic', - since the format of zic's input changed slightly in late 1994, - and many vendors still do not support the new input format. - -* The Unix Version 7 "timezone" function is not present in this package; - it's impossible to reliably map timezone's arguments (a "minutes west - of GMT" value and a "daylight saving time in effect" flag) to a - time zone abbreviation, and we refuse to guess. - Programs that in the past used the timezone function may now examine - tzname[localtime(&clock)->tm_isdst] to learn the correct time - zone abbreviation to use. Alternatively, use - localtime(&clock)->tm_zone if this has been enabled. - -* The 4.2BSD gettimeofday function is not used in this package. - This formerly let users obtain the current UTC offset and DST flag, - but this functionality was removed in later versions of BSD. - -* In SVR2, time conversion fails for near-minimum or near-maximum - time_t values when doing conversions for places that don't use UTC. - This package takes care to do these conversions correctly. - -The functions that are conditionally compiled if STD_INSPIRED is defined -should, at this point, be looked on primarily as food for thought. They are -not in any sense "standard compatible"--some are not, in fact, specified in -*any* standard. They do, however, represent responses of various authors to -standardization proposals. - -Other time conversion proposals, in particular the one developed by folks at -Hewlett Packard, offer a wider selection of functions that provide capabilities -beyond those provided here. The absence of such functions from this package -is not meant to discourage the development, standardization, or use of such -functions. Rather, their absence reflects the decision to make this package -contain valid extensions to POSIX.1, to ensure its broad -acceptability. If more powerful time conversion functions can be standardized, -so much the better. - - ------ Names of time zone rule files ----- - -The names of this package's installed time zone rule files are chosen to -help minimize possible future incompatibilities due to political events. -Ordinarily, names of countries are not used, to avoid incompatibilities -when countries change their name (e.g. Zaire->Congo) or -when locations change countries (e.g. Hong Kong from UK colony to China). - -Names normally have the form AREA/LOCATION, where AREA is the name -of a continent or ocean, and LOCATION is the name of a specific -location within that region. North and South America share the same -area, `America'. Typical names are `Africa/Cairo', `America/New_York', -and `Pacific/Honolulu'. - -Here are the general rules used for choosing location names, -in decreasing order of importance: - - Use only valid Posix file names. Use only Ascii letters, digits, `.', - `-' and `_'. Do not exceed 14 characters or start with `-'. - E.g. prefer `Brunei' to `Bandar_Seri_Begawan'. - Include at least one location per time zone rule set per country. - One such location is enough. - If all the clocks in a country's region have agreed since 1970, - don't bother to include more than one location - even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970. - Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large. - If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative; - e.g. many cities are named San Jose and Georgetown, so - prefer `Costa_Rica' to `San_Jose' and `Guyana' to `Georgetown'. - Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries - or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split - locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer `Paris' - to `France', since France has had multiple time zones. - Use traditional English spelling, e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Roma', and - prefer `Athens' to the true name (which uses Greek letters). - The Posix file name restrictions encourage this rule. - Use the most populous among locations in a country's time zone, - e.g. prefer `Shanghai' to `Beijing'. Among locations with - similar populations, pick the best-known location, - e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Milan'. - Use the singular form, e.g. prefer `Canary' to `Canaries'. - Omit common suffixes like `_Islands' and `_City', unless that - would lead to ambiguity. E.g. prefer `Cayman' to - `Cayman_Islands' and `Guatemala' to `Guatemala_City', - but prefer `Mexico_City' to `Mexico' because the country - of Mexico has several time zones. - Use `_' to represent a space. - Omit `.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer `St_Helena' - to `St._Helena'. - -The file `zone.tab' lists the geographical locations used to name -time zone rule files. - -Older versions of this package used a different naming scheme, -and these older names are still supported. -See the file `backwards' for most of these older names -(e.g. `US/Eastern' instead of `America/New_York'). -The other old-fashioned names still supported are -`WET', `CET', `MET', `EET' (see the file `europe'), -and `Factory' (see the file `factory'). - - ------ Time zone abbreviations ----- - -When this package is installed, it generates time zone abbreviations -like `EST' to be compatible with human tradition and POSIX.1. -Here are the general rules used for choosing time zone abbreviations, -in decreasing order of importance: - - Use abbreviations that consist of 3 or more upper-case Ascii letters, - except use "___" for locations while uninhabited. - Posix.1 requires at least 3 characters, and the restriction to - upper-case Ascii letters follows most traditions. - Previous editions of this database also used characters like - ' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to - the shell and cause commands like - set `date` - to have unexpected effects. In theory, the character set could - be !%./@A-Z^_a-z{}, but these tables use only upper-case - Ascii letters (and "___"). - Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers, - e.g. `EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America. - We assume that applications translate them to other languages - as part of the normal localization process; for example, - a French application might translate `EST' to `HNE'. - For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the - traditional xMT notation, e.g. `PMT' for Paris Mean Time. - The only name like this in current use is `GMT'. - If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English - translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers. - If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country - (e.g. ``Cape Verde Time''), then: - - When a country has a single or principal time zone region, - append `T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. `CVT' for - Cape Verde Time. For summer time append `ST'; - for double summer time append `DST'; etc. - When a country has multiple time zones, take the first three - letters of an English place name identifying each zone - and then append `T', `ST', etc. as before; - e.g. `VLAST' for VLAdivostok Summer Time. - -Application writers should note that these abbreviations are ambiguous -in practice: e.g. `EST' has a different meaning in Australia than -it does in the United States. In new applications, it's often better -to use numeric UTC offsets like `-0500' instead of time zone -abbreviations like `EST'; this avoids the ambiguity. diff --git a/usr.sbin/zic/WWW.htm b/usr.sbin/zic/WWW.htm deleted file mode 100644 index 2151c898e3..0000000000 --- a/usr.sbin/zic/WWW.htm +++ /dev/null @@ -1,97 +0,0 @@ - - - -Sources for Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time Data - - -
