Имя (Name)
zdump - timezone dumper
Синопсис (Synopsis)
zdump [ option ... ] [ timezone ... ]
Описание (Description)
The zdump program prints the current time in each timezone named
on the command line.
Параметры (Options)
--version
Output version information and exit.
--help Output short usage message and exit.
-i Output a description of time intervals. For each timezone
on the command line, output an interval-format description
of the timezone. See 'INTERVAL FORMAT' below.
-v Output a verbose description of time intervals. For each
timezone on the command line, print the time at the lowest
possible time value, the time one day after the lowest
possible time value, the times both one second before and
exactly at each detected time discontinuity, the time at
one day less than the highest possible time value, and the
time at the highest possible time value. Each line is
followed by isdst=D where D is positive, zero, or negative
depending on whether the given time is daylight saving
time, standard time, or an unknown time type,
respectively. Each line is also followed by gmtoff=N if
the given local time is known to be N seconds east of
Greenwich.
-V Like -v, except omit the times relative to the extreme
time values. This generates output that is easier to
compare to that of implementations with different time
representations.
-c [loyear,]hiyear
Cut off interval output at the given year(s). Cutoff
times are computed using the proleptic Gregorian calendar
with year 0 and with Universal Time (UT) ignoring leap
seconds. Cutoffs are at the start of each year, where the
lower-bound timestamp is exclusive and the upper is
inclusive; for example, -c 1970,2070 selects transitions
after 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC and on or before 2070-01-01
00:00:00 UTC. The default cutoff is -500,2500.
-t [lotime,]hitime
Cut off interval output at the given time(s), given in
decimal seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC). The timezone determines whether the
count includes leap seconds. As with -c, the cutoff's
lower bound is exclusive and its upper bound is inclusive.
INTERVAL FORMAT
The interval format is a compact text representation that is
intended to be both human- and machine-readable. It consists of
an empty line, then a line 'TZ=string' where string is a double-
quoted string giving the timezone, a second line '- - interval'
describing the time interval before the first transition if any,
and zero or more following lines 'date time interval', one line
for each transition time and following interval. Fields are
separated by single tabs.
Dates are in yyyy-mm-dd format and times are in 24-hour hh:mm:ss
format where hh<24. Times are in local time immediately after
the transition. A time interval description consists of a UT
offset in signed ±hhmmss format, a time zone abbreviation, and an
isdst flag. An abbreviation that equals the UT offset is
omitted; other abbreviations are double-quoted strings unless
they consist of one or more alphabetic characters. An isdst flag
is omitted for standard time, and otherwise is a decimal integer
that is unsigned and positive (typically 1) for daylight saving
time and negative for unknown.
In times and in UT offsets with absolute value less than 100
hours, the seconds are omitted if they are zero, and the minutes
are also omitted if they are also zero. Positive UT offsets are
east of Greenwich. The UT offset -00 denotes a UT placeholder in
areas where the actual offset is unspecified; by convention, this
occurs when the UT offset is zero and the time zone abbreviation
begins with '-' or is 'zzz'.
In double-quoted strings, escape sequences represent unusual
characters. The escape sequences are \s for space, and \", \\,
\f, \n, \r, \t, and \v with their usual meaning in the C
programming language. E.g., the double-quoted string
'"CET\s\"\\"' represents the character sequence 'CET "\'.
Here is an example of the output, with the leading empty line
omitted. (This example is shown with tab stops set far enough
apart so that the tabbed columns line up.)
TZ="Pacific/Honolulu"

Here, local time begins 10 hours, 31 minutes and 26 seconds west
of UT, and is a standard time abbreviated LMT. Immediately after
the first transition, the date is 1896-01-13 and the time is
12:01:26, and the following time interval is 10.5 hours west of
UT, a standard time abbreviated HST. Immediately after the
second transition, the date is 1933-04-30 and the time is
03:00:00 and the following time interval is 9.5 hours west of UT,
is abbreviated HDT, and is daylight saving time. Immediately
after the last transition the date is 1947-06-08 and the time is
02:30:00, and the following time interval is 10 hours west of UT,
a standard time abbreviated HST.
Here are excerpts from another example:

This time zone is east of UT, so its UT offsets are positive.
Also, many of its time zone abbreviations are omitted since they
duplicate the text of the UT offset.
Ограничения (Limitations)
Time discontinuities are found by sampling the results returned
by localtime at twelve-hour intervals. This works in all real-
world cases; one can construct artificial time zones for which
this fails.
In the -v and -V output, 'UT' denotes the value returned by
gmtime(3), which uses UTC for modern timestamps and some other UT
flavor for timestamps that predate the introduction of UTC. No
attempt is currently made to have the output use 'UTC' for newer
and 'UT' for older timestamps, partly because the exact date of
the introduction of UTC is problematic.
