tzselect

TZSELECT(1)                                                Debian Timezone Configuration                                               TZSELECT(1)

NAME

       tzselect - view timezones

SYNOPSIS

       tzselect

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  explains how you can use the tzselect utility to view the installed timezone. It comes handy when you want to know what
       time it is in other countries, or if you just wonder what timezones exist.

       tzselect is called without any parameters from the shell. It shows a list of about one dozen geographic areas one can roughly recognize  as
       continents. After choosing a geographic area by number, a list of countries and cities in this area will be shown.

       You  can  press  the  Enter key to reprint the list. To choose a timezone, just press the number left to it.  If your input is invalid, the
       list will be reprinted.

       You may press Ctrl-C to interrupt the script at any time.

       Note that tzselect will not actually change the timezone for you. Use 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' to achieve this.
