# $OpenBSD: etcetera,v 1.20 2022/08/12 16:50:57 millert Exp $ # tzdb data for ships at sea and other miscellany # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. # These entries are for uses not otherwise covered by the tz database. # Their main practical use is for platforms like Android that lack # support for POSIX-style TZ strings. On such platforms these entries # can be useful if the timezone database is wrong or if a ship or # aircraft at sea is not in a timezone. # Starting with POSIX 1003.1-2001, the entries below are all # unnecessary as settings for the TZ environment variable. E.g., # instead of TZ='Etc/GMT+4' one can use the POSIX setting TZ='<-04>+4'. # # Do not use a POSIX TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours # behind GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT". Zone Etc/GMT 0 - GMT # The following zone is used by tzcode functions like gmtime, # which load the "UTC" file to handle seconds properly. Zone Etc/UTC 0 - UTC # The following link uses older naming conventions, # but it belongs here, not in the file 'backward', # as it is needed for tzcode releases through 2022a, # where functions like gmtime load "GMT" instead of the "Etc/UTC". # We want this to work even on installations that omit 'backward'.

For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses # the abbreviation "-04" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UT # (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to # mean 4 hours ahead of UT (i.e. east of Greenwich). # Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant, # and had lines such as # Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200 # We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old # way does a # zic -l GMT-12 # so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory. # Also, the time zone abbreviations are now compatible with %z.
