ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane PrazaThe /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/src directory contains zoneinfo timezone source
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 track the Olson public source provided at
ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Prazaftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/, therefore zoneinfo files may be added and
ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Prazaremoved as the Solaris source is updated. The current Solaris release of
ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Prazathe zoneinfo files is based on tzdata2010g.tar.gz.
ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane PrazaThe /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT[+-]* timezones listed below have been
ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Prazaremoved from the release. Replace usage of the
ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Praza/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT[+-]* files with the equivalent quoted timezone
ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Praza(see environ(5)). Note the signs of the offsets of the equivalent quoted
ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Prazatimezone are reversed from the signs of the /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT[+-]*
ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane PrazaFor example, replace TZ=:GMT+1, with TZ="<GMT-1>-1". (The colon (:) is
ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Prazasignificant. Without the colon, for example TZ=GMT+1, an unquoted timezone
ead1f93ee620d7580f7e53350fe5a884fc4f158aLiane Prazais used; unquoted timezones are not affected by the removal of the zoneinfo
