| # These entries are mostly present for historical reasons, so that |
| # people in areas not otherwise covered by the tz files could "zic -l" |
| # to a time zone that was right for their area. These days, the |
| # tz files cover almost all the inhabited world, and the only practical |
| # need now for the entries that are not on UTC are for ships at sea |
| # that cannot use POSIX TZ settings. |

| # The following link uses older naming conventions, |

| # as functions like gmtime load the "GMT" file to handle leap seconds properly. |
| # We want this to work even on installations that omit the other older names. |

| # We use POSIX-style signs in the Zone names and the output abbreviations, |
| # even though this is the opposite of what many people expect. |
| # POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect |
| # positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses |
| # the abbreviation "GMT+4" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UTC |
| # (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to |
| # mean 4 hours ahead of UTC (i.e. east of Greenwich). |
| # |
| # In the draft 5 of POSIX 1003.1-200x, the angle bracket notation |
| # (which is not yet supported by the tz code) allows for |
| # TZ='<GMT-4>+4'; if you want time zone abbreviations conforming to |
| # ISO 8601 you can use TZ='<-0400>+4'. Thus the commonly-expected |
| # offset is kept within the angle bracket (and is used for display) |
| # while the POSIX sign is kept outside the angle bracket (and is used |
| # for calculation). |
| # |
| # Do not use a TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours behind |
| # GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT". |
| |
| # Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant, |
| # and had lines such as |
| # Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200 |
| # We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old |
| # way does a |
| # zic -l GMT-12 |
| # so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory. |
