1# tzdb data for noncommittal factory settings 2 3# This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of 4# 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. 5 6# For distributors who don't want to specify a timezone in their 7# installation procedures. Users who run 'date' will get the 8# time zone abbreviation "-00", indicating that the actual time zone 9# is unknown. 10 11# TZ="Factory" was added to TZDB in 1989, and in 2016 its abbreviation 12# was changed to "-00" from a longish English-language error message. 13# Around 2010, CLDR added "Etc/Unknown" for use with TZDB, to stand 14# for an unknown or invalid time zone. These two notions differ: 15# TZ="Factory" is a valid timezone, so tzalloc("Factory") succeeds, whereas 16# TZ="Etc/Unknown" is invalid and tzalloc("Etc/Unknown") fails. 17# Also, a downstream distributor could modify Factory to be a 18# default timezone suitable for the devices it manufactures, 19# whereas that cannot happen for Etc/Unknown. 20 21# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT 22Zone Factory 0 - "Local time zone must be set--use tzsetup" 23
