timezone — Local time zone configuration file
/etc/timezone
The /etc/timezone
file
configures the system-wide time zone of the local
system that is used by applications for presentation
to the user. It should contain a single
newline-terminated line consisting of a time zone
identifier such as
Europe/Berlin
. The file
/etc/localtime
corresponds with
/etc/timezone
and contains the
binary time zone data for the time zone. These files
should always be changed simultaneously and kept in
sync.
The time zone may be overridden for individual programs by using the TZ environment variable. See environ(7).
