tzfile.5
Michael Kerrisk
Add information on version 2 format timezone files
Updated using information from the tzcode 2010l release at
ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub.
(It's an open question whether or not a version of tzfile.5
should live independently in man-pages. It was added to the
man-pages set many years ago. For now, I'll follow a
conservative course that causes least pain to downstream,
by continuing to maintain a separate copy in man-pages.)
