55 | <title>Description</title> | |
56 | ||
57 | <para>The <filename>/etc/timezone</filename> file | |
58 | configures the system-wide time zone of the local | |
59 | system that is used by applications for presentation | |
60 | to the user. It should contain a single | |
61 | newline-terminated line consisting of a time zone | |
62 | identifier such as | |
63 | <literal>Europe/Berlin</literal>. The file | |
64 | <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> corresponds with | |
65 | <filename>/etc/timezone</filename> and contains the | |
66 | binary time zone data for the time zone. These files | |
67 | should always be changed simultaneously and kept in | |
68 | sync.</para> | |
69 | ||
70 | <para>The time zone may be overridden for individual | |
71 | programs by using the TZ environment variable. See | |
72 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> | |
