Subject: Timezones in <+-nn> format are not handled
Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2022 15:23:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9b1bb39e-0a9c-612e-3aa5-1be15577fb2b@blue-andi.de> (raw)
Posix timezone strings are in the format ABRVnn[ABRV[nn]][,...], e.g.
GMT0BST,... is London TZ descriptor with two abbreviations GMT and BST.
ABRV means abbreviation. Such abbreviations are not defined for every
timezone around the world.
According to https://data.iana.org/time-zones/theory.html if there is no
common English abbreviations, use offsets like -05 and +0530 that are
generated by zic's %z notation.
These numeric offsets are enclosed between <...>. For example,
abbreviation for Sao Paulo TZ is <-03>3 (instead of e.g. valid SAOPAUL03).
