summary:

Time Zone Database (base zones tree)

description:

The Time Zone Database (often called tz, tzdb, or zoneinfo) contains data that represents the history of local time for many locations around the world, and supports conversion of UTC time to local time at those locations to allow display of those local times. It is updated periodically to reflect changes made by political bodies to summer daylight saving time rules, UTC offsets, and time zone boundaries. Three data packages are available: base 'tzdata' is always installed; optional 'tzdata-right' provides TAI-10s time in the 'right' subtree; and optional 'tzdata-posix' provides the same zones and times as base data in the 'posix' subtree, as an explicit distinction from 'right'.
