NAME

6       localtime - Local timezone configuration file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The /etc/localtime file configures the system-wide timezone of the
13       local system that is used by applications for presentation to the user.
14       It should be an absolute or relative symbolic link pointing to
15       /usr/share/zoneinfo/, followed by a timezone identifier such as
16       "Europe/Berlin" or "Etc/UTC". The resulting link should lead to the
17       corresponding binary tzfile(5) timezone data for the configured
18       timezone.
19
20       Because the timezone identifier is extracted from the symlink target
21       name of /etc/localtime, this file may not be a normal file or hardlink.
22
23       If /etc/localtime is missing, the default "UTC" timezone is used.
24
25       The timezone may be overridden for individual programs by using the $TZ
26       environment variable. See environ(7).
27
28       You may use timedatectl(1) to change the settings of this file from the
29       command line during runtime. Use systemd-firstboot(1) to initialize the
30       time zone on mounted (but not booted) system images.
