@(#)README 7.5
"What time is it?" -- Richard Deacon as The King
"Any time you want it to be." -- Frank Baxter as The Scientist
(from the Bell System film on time)
The 1989 update of the time zone package featured
* POSIXization (including interpretation of POSIX-style TZ environment
variables, provided by Guy Harris),
* ANSIfication (including versions of "mktime" and "difftime"),
* SVIDulation (an "altzone" variable)
* MACHination (the "gtime" function)
* corrections to some time zone data (including corrections to the rules
for Great Britain and New Zealand)
* reference data from the United States Naval Observatory for folks who
want to do additional time zones
* and the 1989 data for Saudi Arabia.
(Since this code will be treated as "part of the implementation" in some places
and as "part of the application" in others, there's no good way to name
functions, such as timegm, that are not part of the proposed ANSI C standard;
such functions have kept their old, underscore-free names in this update.)
Support for the tz_abbr variable has been eliminated from this version
(to forestall "kitchen sink" complaints from certain quarters :-).
Support for Turbo C compilation has also been eliminated; it was present to
allow checking in an ANSI-style environment, and such checking is now done with
gcc.
And the "dysize" function has disappeared; it was present to allow compilation
of the "date" command on old BSD systems, and a version of "date" is now
provided in the package. The "date" command is not created when you "make all"
since it may lack options provided by the version distributed with your
operating system, or may not interact with the system in the same way the
native version does.
Since POSIX frowns on correct leap second handling, the default behavior of
the "zic" command (in the absence of a "-L" option) has been changed to omit
leap second information from its output files.
Be sure to read the comments in "Makefile" and make any changes
needed to make things right for your system.
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
tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for use in the future). Europeans take note!
Thanks to these Timezone Caballeros who've made major contributions to the
time conversion package: Keith Bostic; Bob Devine; Paul Eggert; Robert Elz;
Guy Harris; Mark Horton; John Mackin; and Bradley White. Thanks also to
Michael Bloom, Art Neilson, Stephen Prince, John Sovereign, and Frank Wales
for testing work. None of them are responsible for remaining errors.

@(#)Theory 7.2
These time and date functions are much like the System V Release 2.0 (SVR2)
time and date functions; there are a few additions and changes to extend
the usefulness of the SVR2 functions:
* In SVR2, time display in a process is controlled by the environment
variable TZ, which "must be a three-letter time zone name, followed
by a number representing the difference between local time and
Greenwich Mean Time in hours, followed by an optional three-letter
name for a daylight time zone;" when the optional daylight time zone is
present, "standard U.S.A. Daylight Savings Time conversion is applied."
This means that SVR2 can't deal with other (for example, Australian)
daylight savings time rules, or situations where more than two
time zone abbreviations are used in an area.
* In SVR2, time conversion information is compiled into each program
that does time conversion. This means that when time conversion
rules change (as in the United States in 1987), all programs that
do time conversion must be recompiled to ensure proper results.
* In SVR2, time conversion fails for near-minimum or near-maximum
time_t values when doing conversions for places that don't use GMT.
* In SVR2, there's no tamper-proof way for a process to learn the
system's best idea of local wall clock. (This is important for
applications that an administrator wants used only at certain times--
without regard to whether the user has fiddled the "TZ" environment
variable. While an administrator can "do everything in GMT" to get
around the problem, doing so is inconvenient and precludes handling
daylight savings time shifts--as might be required to limit phone
calls to off-peak hours.)
* These functions can account for leap seconds, thanks to Bradley White
(bww@k.cs.cmu.edu).
These are the changes that have been made to the SVR2 functions:
* The "TZ" environment variable is used in generating the name of a file
from which time zone information is read (or is interpreted a la
POSIX); "TZ" is no longer constrained to be a three-letter time zone
name followed by a number of hours and an optional three-letter
daylight time zone name. The daylight saving time rules to be used
for a particular time zone are encoded in the time zone file;
the format of the file allows U.S., Australian, and other rules to be
encoded, and allows for situations where more than two time zone
abbreviations are used.
It was recognized that allowing the "TZ" environment variable to
take on values such as "US/Eastern" might cause "old" programs
(that expect "TZ" to have a certain form) to operate incorrectly;
consideration was given to using some other environment variable
(for example, "TIMEZONE") to hold the string used to generate the
time zone information file name. In the end, however, it was decided
to continue using "TZ": it is widely used for time zone purposes;
separately maintaining both "TZ" and "TIMEZONE" seemed a nuisance;
and systems where "new" forms of "TZ" might cause problems can simply
use TZ values such as "EST5EDT" which can be used both by
"new" programs (a la POSIX) and "old" programs (as zone names and
offsets).
* To handle places where more than two time zone abbreviations are used,
the functions "localtime" and "gmtime" set tzname[tmp->tm_isdst]
(where "tmp" is the value the function returns) to the time zone
abbreviation to be used. This differs from SVR2, where the elements
of tzname are only changed as a result of calls to tzset.
* Since the "TZ" environment variable can now be used to control time
conversion, the "daylight" and "timezone" variables are no longer
needed or supported. (You can use a compile-time option to cause
these variables to be defined and to be set by "tzset"; however, their
values will not be used by "localtime.")
* The "localtime" function has been set up to deliver correct results
for near-minimum or near-maximum time_t values. (A comment in the
source code tells how to get compatibly wrong results).
* A function "tzsetwall" has been added to arrange for the system's
best approximation to local wall clock time to be delivered by
subsequent calls to "localtime." Source code for portable
applications that "must" run on local wall clock time should call
"tzsetwall();" if such code is moved to "old" systems that don't provide
tzsetwall, you won't be able to generate an executable program.
(These time zone functions also arrange for local wall clock time to be
used if tzset is called--directly or indirectly--and there's no "TZ"
environment variable; portable applications should not, however, rely
on this behavior since it's not the way SVR2 systems behave.)
Points of interest to folks with Version 7 or BSD systems:
* The BSD "timezone" function is not present in this package;
it's impossible to reliably map timezone's arguments (a "minutes west
of GMT" value and a "daylight saving time in effect" flag) to a
time zone abbreviation, and we refuse to guess.
Programs that in the past used the timezone function may now examine
tzname[localtime(&clock)->tm_isdst] to learn the correct time
zone abbreviation to use. Alternatively, use localtime(&clock)->tm_zone
if this has been enabled.
* The BSD gettimeofday function is not used in this package;
this lets users control the time zone used in doing time conversions.
Users who don't try to control things (that is, users who do not set
the environment variable TZ) get the time conversion specified in the
file "/etc/zoneinfo/localtime"; see the time zone compiler writeup for
information on how to initialize this file.
The functions that are conditionally compiled if STD_INSPIRED is defined should,
at this point, be looked on primarily as food for thought. They are not in
any sense "standard compatible"--some are not, in fact, specified in *any*
standard. They do, however, represent responses of various authors to
standardization proposals.
Other time conversion proposals, in particular the one developed by folks at
Hewlett Packard, offer a wider selection of functions that provide capabilities
beyond those provided here. The absence of such functions from this package
is not meant to discourage the development, standardization, or use of such
functions. Rather, their absence reflects the decision to make this package
close to SVR2 (with the exceptions outlined above) to ensure its broad
acceptability. If more powerful time conversion functions can be standardized,
so much the better.

.I Zic
reads text from the file(s) named on the command line
and creates the time conversion information files specified in this input.
If a
.I filename
is
.BR \- ,
the standard input is read.
.PP
These options are available:
.TP
.BI "\-d " directory
Create time conversion information files in the named directory rather than
in the standard directory named below.
.TP
.BI "\-l " timezone
Use the given time zone as local time.
.I Zic
will act as if the input contained a link line of the form
.sp
.ti +.5i
Link \fItimezone\fP localtime
.TP
.BI "\-p " timezone
Use the given time zone's rules when handling POSIX-format
time zone environment variables.
.I Zic
will act as if the input contained a link line of the form
.sp
.ti +.5i
Link \fItimezone\fP posixrules
.TP
.BI "\-L " leapsecondfilename
Read leap second information from the file with the given name.
If this option is not used,
no leap second information appears in output files.
.TP
.B \-v
Complain if a year that appears in a data file is outside the range
of years representable by
.IR time (2)
values.
.TP
.B \-s
Limit time values stored in output files to values that are the same
whether they're taken to be signed or unsigned.
You can use this option to generate SVVS-compatible files.
.TP
.BI "\-y " command
Use the given
.I command
rather than
.B yearistype
when checking year types (see below).
.PP
Input lines are made up of fields.
Fields are separated from one another by any number of white space characters.
Leading and trailing white space on input lines is ignored.
An unquoted sharp character (#) in the input introduces a comment which extends
to the end of the line the sharp character appears on.
White space characters and sharp characters may be enclosed in double quotes
(") if they're to be used as part of a field.
Any line that is blank (after comment stripping) is ignored.
Non-blank lines are expected to be of one of three types:
rule lines, zone lines, and link lines.
.PP
A rule line has the form
.nf
.ti +.5i
.ta \w'Rule\0\0'u +\w'NAME\0\0'u +\w'FROM\0\0'u +\w'1973\0\0'u +\w'TYPE\0\0'u +\w'Apr\0\0'u +\w'lastSun\0\0'u +\w'2:00\0\0'u +\w'SAVE\0\0'u

The fields that make up a rule line are:
.TP "\w'LETTER/S'u"
.B NAME
Gives the (arbitrary) name of the set of rules this rule is part of.
.TP
.B FROM
Gives the first year in which the rule applies.
Any integer year can be supplied; the Gregorian calendar is assumed.
The word
.B minimum
(or an abbreviation) means the minimum year representable as an integer.
The word
.B maximum
(or an abbreviation) means the maximum year representable as an integer.
Rules can describe times that are not representable as time values,
with the unrepresentable times ignored; this allows rules to be portable
among hosts with differing time value types.
.TP
.B TO
Gives the final year in which the rule applies.
In addition to
.B minimum
and
.B maximum
(as above),
the word
.B only
(or an abbreviation)
may be used to repeat the value of the
.B FROM
field.
.TP
.B TYPE
Gives the type of year in which the rule applies.
If
.B TYPE
is
.B \-
then the rule applies in all years between
.B FROM
and
.B TO
inclusive;
if
.B TYPE
is
.BR uspres ,
the rule applies in U.S. Presidential election years;
if
.B TYPE
is
.BR nonpres ,
the rule applies in years other than U.S. Presidential election years.
If
.B TYPE
is something else, then
.I zic
executes the command
.ti +.5i
\fByearistype\fP \fIyear\fP \fItype\fP
.br
to check the type of a year:
an exit status of zero is taken to mean that the year is of the given type;
an exit status of one is taken to mean that the year is not of the given type.
.TP
.B IN
Names the month in which the rule takes effect.
Month names may be abbreviated.
.TP
.B ON
Gives the day on which the rule takes effect.
Recognized forms include:
.nf
.in +.5i
.sp
.ta \w'Sun<=25\0\0'u
5 the fifth of the month
lastSun the last Sunday in the month
lastMon the last Monday in the month
Sun>=8 first Sunday on or after the eighth
Sun<=25 last Sunday on or before the 25th
.fi
.in -.5i
.sp
Names of days of the week may be abbreviated or spelled out in full.
Note that there must be no spaces within the
.B ON
field.
.TP
.B AT
Gives the time of day at which the rule takes effect.
Recognized forms include:
.nf
.in +.5i
.sp
.ta \w'1:28:13\0\0'u
2 time in hours
2:00 time in hours and minutes
15:00 24-hour format time (for times after noon)
1:28:14 time in hours, minutes, and seconds
.fi
.in -.5i
.sp
Any of these forms may be followed by the letter
.B w
if the given time is local
.q "wall clock"
time or
.B s
if the given time is local
.q standard
time; in the absence of
.B w
or
.BR s ,
wall clock time is assumed.
.TP
.B SAVE
Gives the amount of time to be added to local standard time when the rule is in
effect.
This field has the same format as the
.B AT
field
(although, of course, the
.B w
and
.B s
suffixes are not used).
.TP
.B LETTER/S
Gives the
.q "variable part"
(for example, the
.q S
or
.q D
in
.q EST
or
.q EDT )
of time zone abbreviations to be used when this rule is in effect.
If this field is
.BR \- ,
the variable part is null.
.PP
A zone line has the form
.sp
.nf
.ti +.5i
.ta \w'Zone\0\0'u +\w'Australia/Adelaide\0\0'u +\w'GMTOFF\0\0'u +\w'RULES/SAVE\0\0'u +\w'FORMAT\0\0'u
Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTIL]
.sp
For example:
.sp
.ti +.5i
Zone Australia/Adelaide 9:30 Aus CST 1971 Oct 31 2:00
.sp
.fi
The fields that make up a zone line are:
.TP "\w'GMTOFF'u"
.B NAME
The name of the time zone.
This is the name used in creating the time conversion information file for the
zone.
.TP
.B GMTOFF
The amount of time to add to GMT to get standard time in this zone.
This field has the same format as the
.B AT
and
.B SAVE
fields of rule lines;
begin the field with a minus sign if time must be subtracted from GMT.
.TP
.B RULES/SAVE
The name of the rule(s) that apply in the time zone or,
alternately, an amount of time to add to local standard time.
If this field is
.B \-
then standard time always applies in the time zone.
.TP
.B FORMAT
The format for time zone abbreviations in this time zone.
The pair of characters
.B %s
is used to show where the
.q "variable part"
of the time zone abbreviation goes.
.TP
.B UNTIL
The time at which the GMT offset or the rule(s) change for a location.
It is specified as a year, a month, a day, and a time of day.
If this is specified,
the time zone information is generated from the given GMT offset
and rule change until the time specified.
.IP
The next line must be a
.q continuation
line; this has the same form as a zone line except that the
string
.q Zone
and the name are omitted, as the continuation line will
place information starting at the time specified as the
.B UNTIL
field in the previous line in the file used by the previous line.
Continuation lines may contain an
.B UNTIL
field, just as zone lines do, indicating that the next line is a further
continuation.
.PP
A link line has the form
.sp
.nf
.ti +.5i
.if t .ta \w'Link\0\0'u +\w'LINK-FROM\0\0'u
.if n .ta \w'Link\0\0'u +\w'US/Eastern\0\0'u
Link LINK-FROM LINK-TO
.sp
For example:
.sp
.ti +.5i
Link US/Eastern EST5EDT
.sp
.fi
The
.B LINK-FROM
field should appear as the
.B NAME
field in some zone line;
the
.B LINK-TO
field is used as an alternate name for that zone.
.PP
Except for continuation lines,
lines may appear in any order in the input.
.PP
Lines in the file that describes leap seconds have the following form:
.nf
.ti +.5i
.ta \w'Leap\0\0'u +\w'YEAR\0\0'u +\w'MONTH\0\0'u +\w'DAY\0\0'u +\w'HH:MM:SS\0\0'u +\w'CORR\0\0'u
.sp
Leap YEAR MONTH DAY HH:MM:SS CORR R/S
.sp
For example:
.ti +.5i
.sp
Leap 1974 Dec 31 23:59:60 + S
.sp
.fi
The
.BR YEAR ,
.BR MONTH ,
.BR DAY ,
and
.B HH:MM:SS
fields tell when the leap second happened.
The
.B CORR
field
should be
.q +
if a second was added
or
.q -
if a second was skipped.
.\" There's no need to document the following, since it's impossible for more
.\" than one leap second to be inserted or deleted at a time.
.\" The C Standard is in error in suggesting the possibility.
.\" See Terry J Quinn, The BIPM and the accurate measure of time,
.\" Proc IEEE 79, 7 (July 1991), 894-905.
.\" or
.\" .q ++
.\" if two seconds were added
.\" or
.\" .q --
.\" if two seconds were skipped.
The
.B R/S
field
should be (an abbreviation of)
.q Stationary
if the leap second time given by the other fields should be interpreted as GMT
or
(an abbreviation of)
.q Rolling
if the leap second time given by the other fields should be interpreted as
local wall clock time.
.SH NOTE
For areas with more than two types of local time,
you may need to use local standard time in the
.B AT
field of the earliest transition time's rule to ensure that
the earliest transition time recorded in the compiled file is correct.
