62 | ||
63 | <para>The <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> file configures the | |
64 | system-wide timezone of the local system that is used by | |
65 | applications for presentation to the user. It should be an | |
66 | absolute or relative symbolic link pointing to | |
67 | <filename>/usr/share/zoneinfo/</filename>, followed by a timezone | |
68 | identifier such as <literal>Europe/Berlin</literal> or | |
69 | <literal>Etc/UTC</literal>. The resulting link should lead to the | |
70 | corresponding binary | |
71 | <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>tzfile</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
72 | timezone data for the configured timezone.</para> | |
73 | ||
74 | <para>Because the timezone identifier is extracted from the | |
75 | symlink target name of <filename>/etc/localtime</filename>, this | |
76 | file may not be a normal file or hardlink.</para> | |
77 | ||
78 | <para>The timezone may be overridden for individual programs by | |
79 | using the <varname>$TZ</varname> environment variable. See | |
80 | <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> | |

86 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
87 | to initialize the time zone on mounted (but not booted) system | |
