-tzset.3
- J William Piggott
- Document behavior when TZ filespec omits the colon
- If the TZ filespec omits the leading colon, glibc will parse
- it for any valid format, i.e., it will still work.
- J William Piggott
- Add description for posixrules file
- J William Piggott
- Correct system timezone file path
- J William Piggott
- There are only two TZ formats
- tzset(3) currently states that there are three TZ formats. The
- first two it lists are actually variations of the POSIX-style
- TZ format, of which there are at least five variations.
-
- This patch corrects this to match the POSIX specification of
- TZ having only two formats.
- J William Piggott
- Filespec omitted incorrect
- Paragraph three of the DESCRIPTION section says
- that when TZ is set, but empty, then UTC is used.
-
- Later it says if the TZ filespec is omitted then the file
- /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime is used. This is incorrect,
- it will use UTC in that case as well.
- J William Piggott
- Fix incorrect TZ string representation
- The TZ string representation indicates that the start/end
- rules are required; this is incorrect.
- J William Piggott
- Add ENVIRONMENT section + other rearrangements
- FILES section was overly verbose and included
- environment variables. Added ENVIRONMENT section,
- removing ENV VARS from the FILES section.
