The UT offset \&-00 denotes a UT +placeholder in areas where the actual offset is unspecified; by +convention, this occurs when the UT offset is zero and the time zone +abbreviation begins with +.Dq \&- +or is +.Dq zzz . +.Pp +In double-quoted strings, escape sequences represent unusual +characters. The escape sequences are \es for space, and \e", \e\e, +\ef, \en, \er, \et, and \ev with their usual meaning in the C +programming language. +E.g., the double-quoted string +.Sq "CET\es\e"\e\e" +represents the character sequence +.Sq CET +.Pp +Here is an example of the output, with the leading empty line omitted. +(This example is shown with tab stops set far enough apart so that the +tabbed columns line up.) +.Bd -literal +TZ="Pacific/Honolulu" +.Ed +.Bl -column "XXXX-XX-XX" "HH:MM:SS" "-HHMMSS" "TZT" "X" -compact +.It - Ta - Ta -103126 Ta LMT Ta +.It 1896-01-13 Ta 12:01:26 Ta -1030 Ta HST Ta +.It 1933-04-30 Ta 03 Ta -0930 Ta HDT Ta 1 +.It 1933-05-21 Ta 11 Ta -1030 Ta HST Ta +.It 1942-02-09 Ta 03 Ta -0930 Ta HDT Ta 1 +.It 1945-08-14 Ta 13:30 Ta -0930 Ta HPT Ta 1 +.It 1945-09-30 Ta 01 Ta -1030 Ta HST Ta +.It 1947-06-08 Ta 02:30 Ta -10 Ta HST Ta +.El +.Pp +Here, local time begins 10 hours, 31 minutes and 26 seconds west of +UT, and is a standard time abbreviated LMT. Immediately after the +first transition, the date is 1896-01-13 and the time is 12:01:26, and +the following time interval is 10.5 hours west of UT, a standard time +abbreviated HST. +Immediately after the second transition, the date is +1933-04-30 and the time is 03:00:00 and the following time interval is +9.5 hours west of UT, is abbreviated HDT, and is daylight saving time. +Immediately after the last transition the date is 1947-06-08 and the +time is 02:30:00, and the following time interval is 10 hours west of +UT, a standard time abbreviated HST. +.Pp +Here are excerpts from another example: +.Bd -literal +TZ="Europe/Astrakhan" +.Ed +.Bl -column "XXXX-XX-XX" "HH:MM:SS" "-HH:MM:SS" "TZT" "X" -compact +.It - Ta - Ta +031212 Ta LMT Ta +.It 1924-04-30 Ta 23:47:48 Ta +03 Ta Ta +.It 1930-06-21 Ta 01 Ta +04 Ta Ta +.It 1981-04-01 Ta 01 Ta +05 Ta Ta 1 +.It 1981-09-30 Ta 23 Ta +04 Ta Ta +.It \&...

Also, +many of its time zone abbreviations are omitted since they duplicate +the text of the UT offset. +.Sh LIMITATIONS +Time discontinuities are found by sampling the results returned by +.Xr localtime 3 +at twelve-hour intervals. +This works in all real-world cases; +one can construct artificial time zones for which this fails. +.Pp +In the +.Fl v +and +.Fl V +output, +.Dq UT +denotes the value returned by +.Xr gmtime 3 , +which uses UTC for modern timestamps and some other UT flavor for +timestamps that predate the introduction of UTC. +No attempt is currently made to have the output use +.Dq UTC +for newer and +.Dq UT +for older timestamps, partly because the exact date of the +introduction of UTC is problematic. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr localtime 3 , +.Xr tzfile 5 , +.Xr zic 8 |
