NAME

       zdump - timezone dumper

SYNOPSIS

       zdump [ --version ] [ --help ] [ -v ] [ -c [loyear,]hiyear ] [ zonename ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Zdump prints the current time in each zonename named on the command line.

       These options are available:

       --version
	      Output version information and exit.

       --help Output short usage and exit.

       -v     For  each zonename on the command line, print the time at the lowest possible time value, the time one day after the lowest possible
	      time value, the times both one second before and exactly at each detected time discontinuity, the time at  one  day  less  than  the
	      highest possible time value, and the time at the highest possible time value.  Each line ends with isdst=1 if the given time is Day-
	      light Saving Time or isdst=0 otherwise.

       -c [loyear,]hiyear

	      day after it, and the highest possible time value preceded by the time value one day before it.
