NAME
       timezone - default timezone data base

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/timezone

DESCRIPTION
       The  timezone  file contains information regarding the default timezone
       for each host in a domain. Alternatively, a single default line for the
       entire domain may be specified. Each entry has the format:

	 Timezone-name	  official-host-or-domain-name

       Items  are  separated  by any number of blanks and/or TAB characters. A
       `#' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the  end  of
       the  line  are  not  interpreted by routines which search the file. The
       timezone is a pathname relative to the  directory  /usr/share/lib/zone‐
       info.

       This  file  is  not  actually  referenced by any system software; it is
       merely used as a source file to construct the NIS timezone.byname  map.
       This  map  is  read  by sysidtool(1M) to initialize the timezone of the
       client system at installation  time.  For  more	information,  see  the
       Solaris Express Installation Guide: Basic Installations.

       The  timezone  file  does not set the timezone environment variable TZ.
       See TIMEZONE(4) for information to set the TZ environment variable.

EXAMPLES
