The given time zone ID is "GMT" or one of the names defined using "Zone" entries in the "tz database", a public domain time zone database at ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/. The data of this database is contained in a file whose name starts with "tzdata", and the specification of the data format is part of the zic.8 man page, which is contained in a file whose name starts with "tzcode".
