Otherwise the tzload() (when called by gmtload()) fails to locate the UTC file and loads the posixrules.

.Ft void

.Fn tzsetwall void
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn tzset
|
|
function
|
|
initializes time conversion information used by the library routine
|
|
.Xr localtime 3 .
|
|
The environment variable
|
|
.Ev TZ
|
|
specifies how this is done.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ev TZ
|
|
does not appear in the environment, the best available approximation to
|
|
local wall clock time, as specified by the
|
|
.Xr tzfile 5 Ns -format
|
|
file
|
|
.Pa /etc/localtime
|
|
is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ev TZ
|
|
appears in the environment but its value is a null string, Coordinated
|
|
Universal Time
|
|
.Pq Tn UTC
|
|
is used (without leap second correction).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ev TZ
|
|
appears in the environment and its value begins with a colon
|
|
.Pq Ql \&: ,
|
|
the rest of its value is used as a pathname of a
|
|
.Xr tzfile 5 Ns -format
|
|
file from which to read the time conversion information.
|
|
If the first character of the pathname is a slash
|
|
.Pq Ql /
|
|
it is used as
|
|
an absolute pathname; otherwise, it is used as a pathname relative to
|
|
the system time conversion information directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If its value does not begin with a colon, it is first used as the pathname
|
|
of a file (as described above) from which to read the time conversion
|
|
information.
|
|
If that file cannot be read, the value is then interpreted as a direct
|
|
specification (the format is described below) of the time conversion
|
|
information.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ev TZ
|
|
environment variable does not specify a
|
|
.Xr tzfile 5 Ns -format
|
|
file and cannot be interpreted as a direct specification,
|
|
.Tn UTC
|
|
is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn tzsetwall
|
|
function
|
|
sets things up so that
|
|
.Xr localtime 3
|
|
returns the best available approximation of local wall clock time.
|
|
.Sh SPECIFICATION FORMAT
|
|
When
|
|
.Ev TZ
|
|
is used directly as a specification of the time conversion information,
|
|
it must have the following syntax (spaces inserted for clarity):
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Em std offset
|
|
.Bo
|
|
.Em dst
|
|
.Bq Em offset
|
|
.Bq , Em rule
|
|
.Bc
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Where:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width std_and_dst -offset indent
|
|
.It Em std No and Em dst
|
|
Three or more bytes that are the designation for the standard
|
|
.Pq Em std
|
|
or summer
|
|
.Pq Em dst
|
|
time zone.
|
|
Only
|
|
.Em std
|
|
is required; if
|
|
.Em dst
|
|
is missing, then summer time does not apply in this locale.
|
|
Upper and lowercase letters are explicitly allowed.
|
|
Any characters
|
|
except a leading colon
|
|
.Pq Ql \&: ,
|
|
digits, comma
|
|
.Pq Ql \&, ,
|
|
minus
|
|
.Pq Ql \- ,
|
|
plus
|
|
.Pq Ql + ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
.Dv NUL
|
|
are allowed.
|
|
.It Em offset
|
|
Indicates the value one must add to the local time to arrive at
|
|
Coordinated Universal Time.
|
|
The
|
|
.Em offset
|
|
has the form:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Sm off
|
|
.Em hh Bo
|
|
.Em : mm
|
|
.Bq Em : ss
|
|
.Bc
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The minutes
|
|
.Pq Em mm
|
|
and seconds
|
|
.Pq Em ss
|
|
are optional.
|
|
The hour
|
|
.Pq Em hh
|
|
is required and may be a single digit.
|
|
The
|
|
.Em offset
|
|
following
|
|
.Em std
|
|
is required.
|
|
If no
|
|
.Em offset
|
|
follows
|
|
.Em dst ,
|
|
summer time is assumed to be one hour ahead of standard time.
|
|
One or
|
|
more digits may be used; the value is always interpreted as a decimal
|
|
number.
|
|
The hour must be between zero and 24, and the minutes (and
|
|
seconds) \(em if present \(em between zero and 59.
|
|
If preceded by a
|
|
.Pq Ql \-
|
|
the time zone shall be east of the Prime Meridian; otherwise it shall be
|
|
west (which may be indicated by an optional preceding
|
|
.Pq Ql + ) .
|
|
.It Em rule
|
|
Indicates when to change to and back from summer time.
|
|
The
|
|
.Em rule
|
|
has the form:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Em date/time,date/time
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where the first
|
|
.Em date
|
|
describes when the change from standard to summer time occurs and the
|
|
second
|
|
.Em date
|
|
describes when the change back happens.
|
|
Each
|
|
.Em time
|
|
field describes when, in current local time, the change to the other
|
|
time is made.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The format of
|
|
.Em date
|
|
is one of the following:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "M.m.n.d"
|
|
.It Sy J Em n
|
|
The Julian day
|
|
.Em n
|

|
|
Leap days are not counted; that is, in all years \(em including leap
|
|
years \(em February 28 is day 59 and March 1 is day 60.
|
|
It is
|
|
impossible to explicitly refer to the occasional February 29.
|
|
.It Em n
|
|
The zero-based Julian day
|
|
(0 \*(Le

|
|
Leap days are counted, and it is possible to refer to February 29.

|

|
|
.Em d Ns 'th

|
|
\*(Le 5),
|
|
(1 \*(Le

where week 5 means

|
|
day in month
|
|
.Em m
|
|

which may occur in either the fourth or the fifth week).
|
|
Week 1 is the
|
|
first week in which the
|
|
.Em d Ns 'th
|
|
day occurs.
|
|
Day zero is Sunday.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em time
|
|
has the same format as
|
|
.Em offset
|
|
except that no leading sign
|
|
.Pq Ql \-
|
|
or
|
|
.Pq Ql +
|
|
is allowed.
|
|
The default, if
|
|
.Em time
|
|
is not given, is
|
|
.Sy 02:00:00 .
|
|

|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no
|
|
.Em rule
|
|
is present in the
|
|
.Ev TZ
|
|
specification, the rules specified
|
|
by the
|
|
.Xr tzfile 5 Ns -format
|
|
file
|
|
.Em posixrules
|
|
in the system time conversion information directory are used, with the

standard and summer time offsets from

replaced by those specified by

the

|
.Em offset
|
|
values in

.El
|

.Pp
|
|
For compatibility with System V Release 3.1, a semicolon
|
|
.Pq Ql \&;
|
|
may be used to separate the
|
|
.Em rule
|
|
from the rest of the specification.
