ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Prazafiles. These source files have been compiled using zic(1M) to create

ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Prazathe zoneinfo data files in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo. The zic command can be

ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Prazaused with the zoneinfo source files to create additional data files.

ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Prazathe zoneinfo files is based on tzdata2007f.tar.gz.

As zoneinfo timezones are updated, the savings/daylight transition rules

and timezone name abbreviations may change. This can affect how

the times are calculated in the local timezone. Therefore the interpretation

of a time_t value can vary amongst Solaris releases that use different

versions of the zoneinfo timezones.

The zoneinfo timezone data files do not transition past

Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 GMT. Therefore for 64-bit applications using

zoneinfo timezones, calculations beyond this date may not use the correct

offset from standard time, and could return incorrect values. This affects

64-bit versions of interfaces such as ascftime(3C), cftime(3C), ctime(3C),

getdate(3C), ftime(3C), mktime(3C), and localtime(3C).

For more information see zic(1M), zdump(1M), environ(5), TIMEZONE(4),

ctime(3C), and mktime(3C) man pages.
