Please send comments or information to
seismo!elsie!tz
for forwarding to folks interested in time zone matters.
Be sure to read the comments in "Makefile" and make any changes
needed to make things right for your system.
This version of the time zone software uses a new format
(based on the work of Guy Harris, a.k.a guy@sun.UUCP)
for the time zone information files. They are now stored by default
in a
directory named "/etc/zoneinfo" rather than "/etc/tzdir" or "/etc/timezones"
as before. If you've already compiled programs with older time
zone software,
just leave the "/etc/tzdir" and/or "/etc/timezones" files around until
you
have a chance to recompile.
For better compatability with other versions of time conversion functions,
the time zone abbreviation to be used with localtime's return value
is now
pointed to by one of the two elements of the (char *) array tzname,
rather
than by the (char *) tz_abbr. If you have code that uses tz_abbr,
add a
-DTZA_COMPAT
to the end of the
CFLAGS=
line in "Makefile".
To use the new functions, use a "-lz" option when compiling or linking.
Historical local time information has been included here not because
it
is particularly useful, but rather to:
* give an idea of the variety of
local time rules that have
existed in the past and
thus an idea of the variety that may be
expected in the future;
* provide a test of the generality
of the local time rule description
system.
The information in the time zone data files is by no means authoritative;
if you know that the rules are different from those in a file, by all
means
feel free to change file (and please send the changed version to seismo!elsie!tz
for use in the future). Europeans take note!
