78 ** If tzh_version is '2' or greater, the above is followed by a second instance
79 ** of tzhead and a second instance of the data in which each coded transition
80 ** time uses 8 rather than 4 chars,
81 ** then a POSIX-TZ-environment-variable-style string for use in handling
82 ** instants after the last transition time stored in the file
83 ** (with nothing between the newlines if there is no POSIX representation for
84 ** such instants).
86 ** If tz_version is '3' or greater, the above is extended as follows.
87 ** First, the POSIX TZ string's hour offset may range from -167
88 ** through 167 as compared to the POSIX-required 0 through 24.
89 ** Second, its DST start time may be January 1 at 00:00 and its stop
90 ** time December 31 at 24:00 plus the difference between DST and
91 ** standard time, indicating DST all year.
95 ** In the current implementation, "tzset()" refuses to deal with files that
96 ** exceed any of the limits below.
