c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# These entries are mostly present for historical reasons, so that
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# people in areas not otherwise covered by the tz files could "zic -l"
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# to a time zone that was right for their area. These days, the
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# tz files cover almost all the inhabited world, and the only practical
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# need now for the entries that are not on UTC are for ships at sea
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# that cannot use POSIX TZ settings.
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# The following link uses older naming conventions,
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# but it belongs here, not in the file `backward',
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# as functions like gmtime load the "GMT" file to handle leap seconds properly.
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# We want this to work even on installations that omit the other older names.
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# We use POSIX-style signs in the Zone names and the output abbreviations,
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# even though this is the opposite of what many people expect.
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# the abbreviation "GMT+4" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UTC
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# mean 4 hours ahead of UTC (i.e. east of Greenwich).
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# In the draft 5 of POSIX 1003.1-200x, the angle bracket notation allows for
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# TZ='<GMT-4>+4'; if you want time zone abbreviations conforming to
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# ISO 8601 you can use TZ='<-0400>+4'. Thus the commonly-expected
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# offset is kept within the angle bracket (and is used for display)
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# while the POSIX sign is kept outside the angle bracket (and is used
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# for calculation).
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# Do not use a TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours behind
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT".
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant,
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# and had lines such as
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# zic -l GMT-12
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory.
