..
|
|
.I Zic
|
|
reads text from the file(s) named on the command line
|
|
and creates the time conversion information files specified in this input.
|
|
If a
|
|
.I filename
|
|
is
|
|
.BR \- ,
|
|
the standard input is read.
|
|
.PP
|
|
These options are available:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "\-d " directory
|
|
Create time conversion information files in the named directory rather than
|
|
in the standard directory named below.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "\-l " timezone
|
|
Use the given time zone as local time.
|
|
.I Zic
|
|
will act as if the input contained a link line of the form
|
|
.sp
|
|
.ti +.5i
|
|
Link \fItimezone\fP localtime
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "\-p " timezone
|
|
Use the given time zone's rules when handling POSIX-format
|
|
time zone environment variables.
|
|
.I Zic
|
|
will act as if the input contained a link line of the form
|
|
.sp
|
|
.ti +.5i
|
|
Link \fItimezone\fP posixrules
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "\-L " leapsecondfilename
|
|
Read leap second information from the file with the given name.
|
|
If this option is not used,
|
|
no leap second information appears in output files.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Complain if a year that appears in a data file is outside the range
|
|
of years representable by
|
|
.IR time (2)
|
|
values.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
Limit time values stored in output files to values that are the same
|
|
whether they're taken to be signed or unsigned.
|
|
You can use this option to generate SVVS-compatible files.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Input lines are made up of fields.
|
|
Fields are separated from one another by any number of white space characters.
|
|
Leading and trailing white space on input lines is ignored.
|
|
An unquoted sharp character (#) in the input introduces a comment which extends
|
|
to the end of the line the sharp character appears on.
|
|
White space characters and sharp characters may be enclosed in double quotes
|
|
(") if they're to be used as part of a field.
|
|
Any line that is blank (after comment stripping) is ignored.
|
|
Non-blank lines are expected to be of one of three types:
|
|
rule lines, zone lines, and link lines.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A rule line has the form
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B
|
|
.ti +.5i
|
|
.ta \w'Rule\0\0'u +\w'NAME\0\0'u +\w'FROM\0\0'u +\w'1973\0\0'u +\w'TYPE\0\0'u +\w'Apr\0\0'u +\w'lastSun\0\0'u +\w'2:00\0\0'u +\w'SAVE\0\0'u
|
|
.sp
|
|
Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S
|
|
.sp
|
|
For example:
|
|
.ti +.5i
|
|
.sp
|
|
Rule USA 1969 1973 \- Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D
|
|
.sp
|
|
.fi
|
|
The fields that make up a rule line are:
|
|
.TP "\w'LETTER/S'u"
|
|
.B NAME
|
|
Gives the (arbitrary) name of the set of rules this rule is part of.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B FROM
|
|
Gives the first year in which the rule applies.
|
|
The word
|
|
.B minimum
|
|
(or an abbreviation) means the minimum year with a representable time value.
|
|
The word
|
|
.B maximum
|
|
(or an abbreviation) means the maximum year with a representable time value.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B TO
|
|
Gives the final year in which the rule applies.
|
|
In addition to
|
|
.B minimum
|
|
and
|
|
.B maximum
|
|
(as above),
|
|
the word
|
|
.B only
|
|
(or an abbreviation)
|
|
may be used to repeat the value of the
|
|
.B FROM
|
|
field.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B TYPE
|
|
Gives the type of year in which the rule applies.
|
|
If
|
|
.B TYPE
|
|
is
|
|
.B \-
|
|
then the rule applies in all years between
|
|
.B FROM
|
|
and
|
|
.B TO
|
|
inclusive;
|
|
if
|
|
.B TYPE
|
|
is
|
|
.BR uspres ,
|
|
the rule applies in U.S. Presidential election years;
|
|
if
|
|
.B TYPE
|
|
is
|
|
.BR nonpres ,
|
|
the rule applies in years other than U.S. Presidential election years.
|
|
If
|
|
.B TYPE
|
|
is something else, then
|
|
.I zic
|
|
executes the command
|
|
.ti +.5i
|
|
\fByearistype\fP \fIyear\fP \fItype\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
to check the type of a year:
|
|
an exit status of zero is taken to mean that the year is of the given type;
|
|
an exit status of one is taken to mean that the year is not of the given type.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B IN
|
|
Names the month in which the rule takes effect.
|
|
Month names may be abbreviated.
|
|
.TP
|
|

|
|
.B ON
|

field.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B AT
|
|

Any of these forms may be followed by the letter
|
|
.B w
|
|
if the given time is local
|
|
.q "wall clock"
|
|
time or
|
|
.B s
|
|
if the given time is local
|
|
.q standard
|
|
time; in the absence of
|
|
.B w
|
|
or
|
|
.BR s ,
|
|
wall clock time is assumed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B SAVE
|
|
Gives the amount of time to be added to local standard time when the rule is in
|
|
effect.
|
|
This field has the same format as the
|
|
.B AT
|
|
field
|
|
(although, of course, the
|
|
.B w
|
|
and
|
|
.B s
|
|
suffixes are not used).
|
|
.TP
|

.q D
|
|
in
|
|
.q EST
|
|
or
|
|
.q EDT )
|
|
of time zone abbreviations to be used when this rule is in effect.
|
|
If this field is
|
|
.BR \- ,
|
|
the variable part is null.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A zone line has the form
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ti +.5i
|
|
.ta \w'Zone\0\0'u +\w'Australia/South\-west\0\0'u +\w'GMTOFF\0\0'u +\w'RULES/SAVE\0\0'u +\w'FORMAT\0\0'u

|
|
Zone Australia/South\-west 9:30 Aus CST 1987 Mar 15 2:00
|

|
|
The fields that make up a zone line are:
|
|
.TP "\w'GMTOFF'u"
|
|
.B NAME
|
|
The name of the time zone.
|
|
This is the name used in creating the time conversion information file for the
|
|
zone.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B GMTOFF
|
|
The amount of time to add to GMT to get standard time in this zone.
|
|
This field has the same format as the
|
|
.B AT
|
|
and
|
|
.B SAVE
|
|
fields of rule lines;
|
|
begin the field with a minus sign if time must be subtracted from GMT.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B RULES/SAVE
|
|
The name of the rule(s) that apply in the time zone or,
|
|
alternately, an amount of time to add to local standard time.

|
then standard time always applies in the time zone.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B FORMAT
|
|
The format for time zone abbreviations in this time zone.
|
|
The pair of characters
|
|
.B %s

|
.q "variable part"
|
|
of the time zone abbreviation goes.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B UNTIL
|
|
The time at which the GMT offset or the rule(s) change for a location.
|
|
It is specified as a year, a month, a day, and a time of day.
|
|
If this is specified,
|
|
the time zone information is generated from the given GMT offset
|
|
and rule change until the time specified.
|
|
.IP
|
|
The next line must be a
|
|
.q continuation
|
|
line; this has the same form as a zone line except that the
|
|
string
|
|
.q Zone
|
|
and the name are omitted, as the continuation line will
|
|
place information starting at the time specified as the
|
|
.B UNTIL
|
|
field in the previous line in the file used by the previous line.
|
|
Continuation lines may contain an
|
|
.B UNTIL
|
|
field, just as zone lines do, indicating that the next line is a further
|
|
continuation.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A link line has the form
|
|
.sp
|
|

|
|
The
|
|
.B LINK-FROM
|
|
field should appear as the
|
|
.B NAME
|
|
field in some zone line;
|
|
the
|
|
.B LINK-TO
|
|
field is used as an alternate name for that zone.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Except for continuation lines,
|
|
lines may appear in any order in the input.
|
|
.PP
|

Lines in the file that describes leap seconds have the following form:

|
|
Leap 1974 Dec 31 23:59:60 + S
|
|
.sp
|

.fi
|
|
The
|
|
.BR YEAR ,
|
|
.BR MONTH ,
|
|
.BR DAY ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B HH:MM:SS
|
|
fields tell when the leap second happened.
|
|
The
|
|
.B CORR
|
|
field
|
|
should be
|
|
.q +
|
|
if a second was added
|
|
or
|
|
.q -
|
|
if a second was skipped.
|
|
The
|
|
.B R/S
|
|
field
|
|
should be (an abbreviation of)
|
|
.q Stationary
|
|
if the leap second time given by the other fields should be interpreted as GMT
|
|
or
|
|
(an abbreviation of)
|
|
.q Rolling
|
|
if the leap second time given by the other fields should be interpreted as
|
|
local wall clock time.
|
|
.SH NOTE
|
|
For areas with more than two types of local time,
|
|
you may need to use local standard time in the
|
|
.B AT
|
|
field of the earliest transition time's rule to ensure that
|
|
the earliest transition time recorded in the compiled file is correct.
