1N/AThe /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/src directory contains zoneinfo timezone source

1N/Afiles. These source files have been compiled using zic(1M) to create

1N/Athe zoneinfo data files in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo. The zic command can be

1N/Aused with the zoneinfo source files to create additional data files.

1N/A

1N/AThe zoneinfo files track the Olson public source provided at

1N/Aftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/, therefore zoneinfo files may be added and

1N/Aremoved as the Solaris source is updated. The current Solaris release of

1N/Athe zoneinfo files is based on tzdata2007g.tar.gz.

1N/A

1N/AThe /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT[+-]* timezones listed below have been

1N/Aremoved from the release. Replace usage of the

1N/A/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT[+-]* files with the equivalent quoted timezone

1N/A(see environ(5)). Note the signs of the offsets of the equivalent quoted

1N/Atimezone are reversed from the signs of the /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT[+-]*

1N/Afiles.

1N/A

1N/AFor example, replace TZ=:GMT+1, with TZ="<GMT-1>-1". (The colon (:) is

1N/Asignificant. Without the colon, for example TZ=GMT+1, an unquoted timezone

1N/Ais used; unquoted timezones are not affected by the removal of the zoneinfo

1N/Atimezone files listed below.)

1N/A

1N/AThe following files have been removed from the release:

1N/A

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+1

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+2

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+3

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+4

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+5

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+6

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+7

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+8

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+9

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+10

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+11

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+12

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+13

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.
