NAME
timezone - set the local timezone
SYNOPSIS
timezone [
name
]
DESCRIPTION
timezone sets the system timezone and saves the setting for use on subsequent
boots. The argument
name
specifies the timezone to use. See the system docu-
mentation for a complete list of time zone names. If no argument is supplied, the
current time zone name is printed.
Each timezone is described by a file that is kept in the /etc/zoneinfo directory on
the filer. The
name
argument is actually the name of the file under /etc/zoneinfo
that describes the timezone to use. For instance, the
name
America/
Los_Angeles refers to the timezone file /etc/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles.
These files are in standard Arthur Olson timezone file format, as used on many
flavors of UNIX (SunOS 4.x and later, 4.4BSD, System V Release 4 and later, and
others).
GMT+13 is to allow DST for timezone GMT+12.
