+The public-domain time zone database contains code and data +that represent the history of local time +for many representative locations around the globe. +It is updated periodically to reflect changes made by political bodies +to UTC offsets and daylight-saving rules. +This database (often called tz or zoneinfo) +is used by several implementations, +including BSD, DJGPP, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, IRIX, Solaris, and UnixWare. +In the tz database's +FTP distribution, +the code is in the file tzcodeC.tar.gz, +where C is the code's version; +similarly, the data are in tzdataD.tar.gz, +where D is the data's version. +The code lets you compile the text data into time zone files, one for +each location. It also lets you read a compiled time zone file and +interpret time stamps for that location. +
+The data are by no means authoritative. If you find errors, please +send changes to the time zone +mailing list. You can also subscribe to the +mailing list, or retrieve the archive of old +messages (in gzip compressed +format). +
+The Web has several other sources for time zone and daylight saving time data. +Here are some recent links that may be of interest. +
