NAME
timezone - Sets timezone information.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/timezone [-d]
DESCRIPTION
The timezone command is an interactive program for setting and changing the timezone for users running in the SVID 2 habitat. The program
prompts you for specific information regarding the timezone for your area and outputs the settings of both the TZ and TZC environment vari-
ables to the /etc/svid2_tZ file. If you specify the -d option, the timezone command outputs only the setting of the TZC environment vari-
able.
You must execute this command if you are using the SVID 2 habitat. Once it is run, it does not need to be run again unless the system is
re-installed.
RESTRICTIONS
You must have superuser privileges to use the timezone command.
Refer to the System V Compatibility User's Guide for information on the System V habitat.
