TZ_CONVERT(1) TZ_CONVERT(1)
NAME
tz_convert - Timezone converter from operating system tz format into libical format used by Orage and several other calander tools.
SYNOPSIS
tz_convert [OPTION...] [INFILE]
DESCRIPTION
tz_convert is a command line tool, which can be used to convert timezone data from so called tz binary format, usually used in operating
systems, to libical format, used by several calenders like Orage.
There are several options available to only convert certain files or files in certain directory. Or only convert part of the file and
ignore for example old data. It is also possible to add new timezone files, which are based on old timezone data.
There are tools, which generate ical timezones data from tz source database, but those are often not available for normal users and are
difficult to use. So often libical timezones are not upto date. tz_convert reads directly the binary tz data and makes it possible to keep
libical timezones up to date. The tool is mainly meant to be used by distro maintainers, but it should be easy and clear enough for all
users.
FILES
tz timezone files often can be found in directory /usr/share/zoneinfo. For example Europe/Helsinki. libical timezone files needs to be
where you calendar can find them. For Xfce and Orage systems they are located under your Xfce directory in share/orage/libical/zoneinfo.
For example Europe/Helsinki.ics. (use locate to find them.)
OPTIONS
-V, --version
Print version information and exit.
-?, --help
Show this help message and exit.
--usage
Show short usage summary.
-i, --infile
tz file name from operating system to convert from. If this is directory, all files in it are processed. Default is /usr/share/zoneinfo
-o, --outfile
ical timezone file name to be written. This can not be directory. It is meant to be used together with timezone parameter. This is very
seldom used. Default is timezone/infile.ics
-m, --message
debug message level. How much exra information is shown. 0 is least and 10 is highest (1=default). May give usefull information when
things do not work as expected.
-l, --limit
limit processing to newer than this year. Often there is a lot of old data available, which is not needed in normal day to day work and
skipping unused years helps to improve performance. Default is to ignore older than year 1970 time changes.
-t, --timezone
timezone name to be used in the actual file. Normally file name is the same as timezone name, but if you want to create your own
timezone, you need new file name, which contains some known timezone name. This is used together with outfile parameter.
-r, --norecursive
process only main directory, instead of all subdirectories. 0 = recursive 1 = only main directory (0=default).
-c, --exclude count
number of excluded directories. 5 = default (You only need this if you have more than 5 excluded directories). This is used together
with exclude parameter.
-x, --exclude
do not process this directory, skip it. You can give several directories with separate parameters. By default directories right and
posix are excluded, but if you use this parameter, you have to specify those also. You need to use exclude count if you have more than
5 exclude directories.
-u, --norrule
do not use RRULE ical repeating rule, but use RDATE instead. Not all calendars are able to understand RRULE correctly with timezones.
(Orage should work fine with RRULE). 0 = use RRULE 1 = do not use RRULE (0=default).
BUGS
Please report any bugs and enhancement requests to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/. Note that tz_convert is part of orage so bugs are reported
against orage and component tz_convert. Usage related questions can be sent to xfce@xfce.org email list.
