NAME

timezone - set the local timezone

SYNOPSIS

timezone [ name ]

DESCRIPTION

timezone sets the system timezone. It is intended to be called in the initialization file /etc/rc. The argument name specifies the timezone to use. See the system documentation 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.
