We don't all happen to live in the place that just # happens to be the reference location for this timezone. Likewise, sometimes # the official country name isn't quite how you think of the place; perhaps # you'd rather there be just the abbreviation, etc. # # Each line will be translated to a Place and displayed in the ZonesWindow by # slashtime. Keep the list below 20 or so; if you don't, it won't fit on # screen vertically. # # Format # ------ # # This file is three columns, TAB separated. Each column should be enclosed # in double quote characters, ie: # # "Zone" "City" "Country" # # The zoneinfo parameter is the path name of a zoneinfo file relative to # /usr/share/zoneinfo. The structure of that data is Continent/Location, with # there generally being one per country per timezone. Examples: # # "Australia/Sydney" "Sydney" "Australia" # "Asia/Calcutta" "Bangalore" "India" # "Pacific/Honolulu" "Hawaii" "USA" # "America/Edmonton" "Calgary" "Canada" # # Note that "Europe/London" is *not* UTC, and vice versa; British Summer Time # applies in London, but does not impact Universal Time. # # You do not need to include UTC; it is needed by the program and # added automatically at runtime. # "America/Montreal" "Toronto" "Canada" "America/Vancouver" "Vancouver" "Canada" "Australia/Sydney" "Sydney" "Australia" "Europe/Berlin" "Munich" "Germany" "America/Halifax" "Fredericton" "Canada" "Europe/London" "London" "UK" "Asia/Calcutta" "Bangalore" "India" "Asia/Hong_Kong" "Hong Kong" "China" "Pacific/Auckland" "Auckland" "New Zealand" "Pacific/Honolulu" "Hawaii" "USA" "America/Los_Angeles" "Los Angeles" "USA" "America/New_York" "New York" "USA" "America/Edmonton" "Calgary" "Canada" "Australia/Adelaide" "Adelaide" "Australia" "Asia/Tokyo" "Tokyo" "Japan" "Asia/Singapore" "Singapore" "Singapore" "Asia/Dubai" "Dubai" "UAE" "Australia/Perth" "Perth" "Australia" "Europe/Moscow" "Moscow" "Russia" # # Now that you've read all this, you can get rid of the comments, change # the Places to things that make you happy, and copy the file to ~/.tzlist # # vim: set ts=25:
