Copyright (c) 1999, 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. The /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/src directory contains zoneinfo timezone source files. These source files have been compiled using zic(8) to create the zoneinfo data files in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo. The zic command can be used with the zoneinfo source files to create additional data files. The zoneinfo files track the Olson public source provided at ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/, therefore zoneinfo files may be added and removed as the Solaris source is updated. The current Solaris release of the zoneinfo files is based on tzdata2010k.tar.gz. The /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT[+-]* timezones listed below have been removed from the release. Replace usage of the /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT[+-]* files with the equivalent quoted timezone (see environ(7)). Note the signs of the offsets of the equivalent quoted timezone are reversed from the signs of the /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT[+-]* files. For example, replace TZ=:GMT+1, with TZ="-1". (The colon (:) is significant. Without the colon, for example TZ=GMT+1, an unquoted timezone is used; unquoted timezones are not affected by the removal of the zoneinfo timezone files listed below.) The following files have been removed from the release: /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT-12 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT-11 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT-10 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT-9 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT-8 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT-7 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT-6 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT-5 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT-4 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT-3 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT-2 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT-1 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+1 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+2 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+3 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+4 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+5 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+6 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+7 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+8 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+9 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+10 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+11 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+12 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT+13 As zoneinfo timezones are updated, the savings/daylight transition rules and timezone name abbreviations may change. This can affect how the times are calculated in the local timezone. Therefore the interpretation of a time_t value can vary amongst Solaris releases that use different versions of the zoneinfo timezones. The zoneinfo timezone data files do not transition past Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 GMT. Therefore for 64-bit applications using zoneinfo timezones, calculations beyond this date may not use the correct offset from standard time, and could return incorrect values. This affects 64-bit versions of interfaces such as ascftime(3C), cftime(3C), ctime(3C), getdate(3C), ftime(3C), mktime(3C), and localtime(3C). For more information see zic(8), zdump(8), environ(7), TIMEZONE(5), ctime(3C), and mktime(3C) man pages.
