NAME
  timezone - Sets timezone information.

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/timezone [-d]

DESCRIPTION
  The timezone command is an interactive program for setting and changing the
  timezone for users running in the SVID-2 habitat.  The program prompts you
  for specific information regarding the timezone for your area and outputs
  the settings of both the TZ and TZC environment variables to the
  /etc/svid2_tZ file.  If you specify the -d flag, the timezone command
  outputs only the setting of the TZC environment variable.

  You must execute this command if you are using the SVID-2 habitat.  Once it
  is run, it does not need to be run again unless the system is re-installed.

RESTRICTIONS
  You must have superuser privileges to use the timezone command.

  Refer to the System V Compatibility User's Guide for information on the
  System V habitat.
