<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> file
|
|
configures the system-wide time zone of the local
|
|
system that is used by applications for presentation
|
|
to the user. It should be an absolute or relative
|
|
symbolic link pointing to
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/zoneinfo/</filename>, followed by
|
|
a time zone identifier such as
|
|
<literal>Europe/Berlin</literal> or
|
|
<literal>Etc/UTC</literal>. The resulting link should
|
|
lead to the corresponding binary
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>tzfile</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
time zone data for the configured time zone.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>As the time zone identifier is extracted from
|
|
the symlink target name of
|
|
<filename>/etc/localtime</filename> this file may not
|
|
be a normal file or hardlink.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The time zone may be overridden for individual
|
|
programs by using the TZ environment variable. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You may use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to change the settings of this file from the command
