TIMEZONE(4)TIMEZONE(4)NAMEtimezone - set default system time zone
SYNOPSIS
/etc/TIMEZONE
DESCRIPTION
This file sets the time zone environmental variable TZ.
This file is read by init(1) after system boot up and all subsequent
processes inherit TZ in their environment. Other variables than TZ may
also be set in this file, for programs that are run from init. Some
programs started by init reset all or part their environment, and
therefore these variables may not be seen by all programs. The form of
the variables for sh(1) users is:
TZ=value
Lines that are too long are ignored; in practice this is not a problem.
For the syntax of timezone value specifications, see environ (5).
