28 # We use POSIX-style signs in the Zone names and the output abbreviations, |
|
29 # even though this is the opposite of what many people expect. |
|
30 # POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect |
|
31 # positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses |
|
32 # the abbreviation "GMT+4" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UTC |
|
33 # (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to |
|
34 # mean 4 hours ahead of UTC (i.e. east of Greenwich). |
|
35 # |
|
36 # In the draft 5 of POSIX 1003.1-200x, the angle bracket notation |
|
37 # (which is not yet supported by the tz code) allows for |
|
38 # TZ='<GMT-4>+4'; if you want time zone abbreviations conforming to |
|
39 # ISO 8601 you can use TZ='<-0400>+4'. Thus the commonly-expected |
|
40 # offset is kept within the angle bracket (and is used for display) |
|
41 # while the POSIX sign is kept outside the angle bracket (and is used |
|
42 # for calculation). |
|
43 # |
|
44 # Do not use a TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours behind |
|
45 # GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT". |
