![]() Paragraph three of the DESCRIPTION section says that when TZ is set, but empty, then UTC is used. Later it says if the TZ filespec is omitted then the file /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime is used. This is incorrect, it will use UTC in that case as well. Steps to reproduce: cd /usr/share/zoneinfo/ cp Antarctica/South_Pole localtime cd date Sun Jan 18 10:59:50 EST 2015 TZ=:Hongkong date Sun Jan 18 23:59:56 HKT 2015 TZ=:/usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime date Mon Jan 19 05:00:03 NZDT 2015 TZ=: date Sun Jan 18 16:00:11 UTC 2015 TZ=":" date Sun Jan 18 16:00:18 UTC 2015 TZ=':' date Sun Jan 18 16:00:24 UTC 2015 TZ=:/ date Sun Jan 18 16:00:34 2015 TZ=":/" date Sun Jan 18 16:00:40 2015 TZ="" date Sun Jan 18 16:00:45 UTC 2015 Signed-off-by: J William Piggott <elseifthen@gmx.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> |

README
This package contains Linux man pages for sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Some more information is given in the `Announce' file. Install by copying to your favourite location. "make install" will just copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8]. To install to a path different from /usr use "make install prefix=/install/path". "make" will move the pages from this package that are older than the already installed ones to a subdirectory `not_installed', then remove old versions (compressed or not), compress the pages, and copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8]. Note that you may have to remove preformatted pages. Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed in other packages. This has been reported about dlclose.3, dlerror.3, dlopen.3, dlsym.3 (found in ld.so), about resolver.3, resolv.conf.5 (found in bind-utils), and about passwd.5, and mailaddr.7. Be careful not to overwrite more up-to-date versions. Reports on further duplicates are welcome. Formerly present and now removed duplicates: exports.5 (found in nfs-server-2.2*), fstab.5, nfs.5 (found in util-linux-2.12*), lilo.8, lilo.conf.5 (found in lilo-21.6*). Copyrights: These man pages come under various copyrights. All pages are freely distributable when the nroff source is included. If you have corrections and additions to suggest, see http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/contributing.html
