- TZ(5) Minix Programmer's Manual TZ(5)
- NAME
- TZ - Time zone environment variable
- SYNOPSIS
- TZ=zone[-]offset[dst[offset][,start[/time],end[/time]]]
- DESCRIPTION
- The TZ environment variable tells functions such as the ctime(3) family
- and programs like date what the time zone and daylight saving rule is.
- The value of TZ has the POSIX standardized form shown in the synopsis.
- This form specifies the zone names, offsets from GMT, and daylight
- savings changeover times for at least the current year.
- zone A three or more letter name for the time zone in normal (winter)
- time.
- [-]offset
- A signed time telling the offset of the time zone westwards from
- Greenwich. The time has the form hh[:mm[:ss]] with a one of two
- digit hour, and optional two digit minutes and seconds.
- dst The name of the time zone when daylight savings is in effect. It
- may be followed by an offset telling how big the clock correction is
- other than the default of 1 hour.
- start/time,end/time
- Specifies the start and end of the daylight savings period. The
- start and end fields indicate on what day the changeover occurs.
- They must be in one of the following formats:
- Jn The Julian day n (1 <= n <= 365) ignoring leap days, i.e. there
- is no February 29.
- n The zero-based Julian day (0 <= n <= 365). Leap days are not
- ignored.
- Mm.n.d
- This indicates month m, the n-th occurrence of day d (1 <= m <=
- 12, 1 <= n <= 5, 0 <= d <= 6, 0=Sunday). The 5-th occurrence
- means the last occurrence of that day in a month. So M4.1.0 is
- the first Sunday in April, M9.5.0 is the last Sunday in
- September.
- The time field indicates the time the changeover occurs on the given
- day.

- EXAMPLES
- Greenwich Mean Time:
- TZ=GMT0
- Middle European Time, 1 hour east from Greenwich, daylight savings starts
- on the last Sunday in March at 2 AM and ends on the last Sunday in
- October at 3 AM:
- TZ='MET-1MET DST,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3'
- British time, daylight savings starts and ends at the same moment as MET,
- but in an earlier time zone:
- TZ=GMT0BST,M3.5.0/1,M10.5.0/2
- The eastern european time zones also have the changeovers at the same
- absolute time as British time and MET.
- U.S. Eastern Standard Time, 5 hours west from Greenwich, daylight savings
- starts on the first Sunday in April at 2 AM and ends on the last Sunday
- in October at 2 AM:
- TZ=EST5EDT,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2
- It shouldn't surprise you that daylight savings in New Zealand is
- observed in the months opposite from the previous examples. It starts on
- the first Sunday in October at 2 AM and ends on the third Sunday in March
- at 3 AM:
- TZ=NZST-12NZDT,M10.1.0/2,M3.3.0/3
- SEE ALSO
- readclock(8), date(1).
- BUGS
- You may have noticed that many fields are optional. Do no omit them,
- because the defaults are bogus. If you need daylight savings then fully
- specify the changeovers.
- West is negative, east is positive, ask any sailor.
