@(#)zone.tab 1.32 - TZ zone descriptions

AUTHOR

 From Paul Eggert (1996-08-05):

DESCRIPTION

This file contains a table with the following columns:

  • ISO 3166 2-character country code. See the file `iso3166.tab'.

  • Latitude and longitude of the zone's principal location in ISO 6709 sign-degrees-minutes-seconds format, either +-DDMM+-DDDMM or +-DDMMSS+-DDDMMSS, first latitude (+ is north), then longitude (+ is east).

  • Zone name used in value of TZ environment variable.

  • Comments; present if and only if the country has multiple rows.

Columns are separated by a single tab. The table is sorted first by country, then an order within the country that (1) makes some geographical sense, and (2) puts the most populous zones first, where that does not contradict (1).
