NAME
     TIMEZONE - set default system time zone and locale

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/TIMEZONE
     /etc/default/init

DESCRIPTION
     This file sets the time zone environment  variable  TZ,  and
     the  locale-related  environment variables LANG, LC_COLLATE,
     LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, and LC_TIME.

     /etc/TIMEZONE is a symbolic link to /etc/default/init.

     The number of environment variables that  can  be  set  from
     /etc/default/init is limited to 20.

     The format of the file is:

     VAR=value

     where VAR is a timezone environment variable  and  value  is
     the value assigned to the variable. value can be enclosed in
     double quotes (") or single quotes ('). The double or single
     quotes cannot be part of the value.

SEE ALSO
     init(1M), rtc(1M), ctime(3C), environ(5)

NOTES
     When changing the TZ setting on x86 systems, you must make a
     corresponding  change to the /etc/rtc_config file to account
     for the new timezone setting. This can  be  accomplished  by
     executing  the  following commands, followed by a reboot, to
     make the changes take effect:

     # rtc -z zone-name
     # rtc -c


     where zone-name is the same name as the TZ variable setting.

     See rtc(1M) for information on the rtc command.
