Local time zone configuration file
- /etc/timezone
+ /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/â¦
Description
- The /etc/timezone file
+ The /etc/localtime file
configures the system-wide time zone of the local
system that is used by applications for presentation
- to the user. It should contain a single
- newline-terminated line consisting of a time zone
- identifier such as
- Europe/Berlin. The file
- /etc/localtime corresponds with
- /etc/timezone and contains the
- binary time zone data for the time zone. These files
- should always be changed simultaneously and kept in
- sync.
+ to the user. It should be an absolute symbolic link
+ with a destination of /usr/share/zoneinfo/,
+ fallowed by a time zone identifier such as
+ Europe/Berlin or Etc/UTC.
+ The resulting link should point to the corresponding binary
+ tzfile5
+ time zone data for the configured time zone.
+
+ As the time zone identifier is extracted from the name of
+ the target of /etc/localtime this file may
+ not be a normal file or hardlink.
The time zone may be overridden for individual
programs by using the TZ environment variable. See
environ7.
