- Fix for possible unset uid/gid in toproto
- Fix for default mtree style
- Update libelf
- Importing libexecinfo
- Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr
- build.sh: Replace params with show-params.
This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same
way, while a new target named params has been added. This new
target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of
printing it on the console.
- Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org)
get getservbyport() out of the inner loop

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads text from the file(s) named on the command line
|
|
and creates the time conversion information files specified in this input.
|
|
If a
|
|
.Ar filename
|
|
is
|
|
.Ar \&- ,
|
|
the standard input is read.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XXXXXXXXXX -compact
|
|
.It Fl \-version
|
|
Output version information and exit.
|
|
.It Fl d Ar directory
|
|
Create time conversion information files in the named directory rather than
|
|
in the standard directory named below.
|
|
.It Fl L Ar leapsecondfilename
|
|
Read leap second information from the file with the given name.
|
|
If this option is not used,
|
|
no leap second information appears in output files.
|
|
.It Fl l Ar timezone
|
|
Use the given time zone as local time.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will act as if the input contained a link line of the form
|
|
.Dl Link timezone localtime
|
|
.It Fl p Ar timezone
|
|
Use the given time zone's rules when handling POSIX-format
|
|
time zone environment variables.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will act as if the input contained a link line of the form
|
|
.Dl Link timezone posixrules
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Limit time values stored in output files to values that are the same
|
|
whether they're taken to be signed or unsigned.
|
|
You can use this option to generate SVVS-compatible files.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Be more verbose, and complain about the following situations:
|
|
.Bl -dash
|
|
.It The input data specifies a link to a link.
|
|
.It A year that appears in a data file is outside the range
|
|
.It A time of 24:00 or more appears in the input.
|
|
Pre-1998 versions of
|
|
.Xr zic 8
|
|
prohibit 24:00, and pre-2007 versions prohibit times greater than 24:00.
|
|
.It A rule goes past the start or end of the month.
|
|
Pre-2004 versions of
|
|
.Xr zic 8
|
|
prohibit this.
|
|
.It The output file does not contain all the information about the
|
|
long-term future of a zone, because the future cannot be summarized as
|
|
an extended POSIX TZ string.
|
|
For example, as of 2013 this problem
|
|
occurs for Iran's daylight-saving rules for the predicted future, as
|
|
these rules are based on the Iranian calendar, which cannot be
|
|
represented.
|
|
.It The output contains data that may not be handled properly by client
|
|
code designed for older
|
|
.Xr zic 8
|
|
output formats.
|
|
These compatibility issues affect only time stamps
|
|
before 1970 or after the start of 2038.
|
|
.It A time zone abbreviation has fewer than 3 characters.
|
|
POSIX requires at least 3.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Fl y Ar command
|
|
Use the given
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
rather than
|
|
.Em yearistype
|
|
when checking year types (see below).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Input lines are made up of fields.
|
|
Fields are separated from one another by one or more white space characters.
|
|
Leading and trailing white space on input lines is ignored.
|
|
An unquoted sharp character (#) in the input introduces a comment which extends
|
|
to the end of the line the sharp character appears on.
|
|
White space characters and sharp characters may be enclosed in double
|
|
quotes
|
|
.Pq \&"
|
|
.\" XXX "
|
|
if they're to be used as part of a field.
|
|
Any line that is blank (after comment stripping) is ignored.
|
|
Non-blank lines are expected to be of one of three types:
|
|
rule lines, zone lines, and link lines.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Names (such as month names) must be in English and are case insensitive.
|
|
Abbreviations, if used, must be unambiguous in context.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A rule line has the form
|
|
.Dl Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Dl Rule US 1967 1973 \- Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D
|
|
The fields that make up a rule line are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "LETTER/S" -compact
|
|
.It NAME
|
|
Gives the (arbitrary) name of the set of rules this rule is part of.
|
|
.It FROM
|
|
Gives the first year in which the rule applies.
|
|
Any integer year can be supplied; the Gregorian calendar is assumed.
|
|
The word
|
|
.Em minimum
|
|
(or an abbreviation) means the minimum year representable as an integer.
|
|
The word
|
|
.Em maximum
|
|
(or an abbreviation) means the maximum year representable as an integer.
|
|
Rules can describe times that are not representable as time values,
|
|
with the unrepresentable times ignored; this allows rules to be portable
|
|
among hosts with differing time value types.
|
|
.It TO
|
|
Gives the final year in which the rule applies.
|
|
In addition to
|
|
.Em minimum
|
|
and
|
|
.Em maximum
|
|
(as above),
|
|
the word
|
|
.Em only
|
|
(or an abbreviation)
|
|
may be used to repeat the value of the
|
|
.Em FROM
|
|
field.
|
|
.It TYPE
|
|
Gives the type of year in which the rule applies.
|
|
If
|
|
.Em TYPE
|
|
is
|
|
.Em \&-
|
|
then the rule applies in all years between
|
|
.Em FROM
|
|
and
|
|
.Em TO
|
|
inclusive.
|
|
If
|
|
.Em TYPE
|
|
is something else, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
executes the command
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ic yearistype Ar year type
|
|
.Pp
|
|
to check the type of a year:
|
|
an exit status of zero is taken to mean that the year is of the given type;
|
|
an exit status of one is taken to mean that the year is not of the given type.
|
|
.It IN
|
|
Names the month in which the rule takes effect.
|
|
Month names may be abbreviated.
|
|
.It ON
|
|
Gives the day on which the rule takes effect.
|
|
Recognized forms include:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width lastSun -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It 5
|
|
the fifth of the month
|
|
.It lastSun
|
|
the last Sunday in the month
|
|
.It lastMon
|
|
the last Monday in the month
|
|
.It Sun\*[Ge]8
|
|
first Sunday on or after the eighth
|
|
.It Sun\*[Le]25
|
|
last Sunday on or before the 25th
|
|
.El
|
|
Names of days of the week may be abbreviated or spelled out in full.
|
|
Note that there must be no spaces within the
|
|
.Em ON
|
|
field.
|
|
.It AT
|
|
Gives the time of day at which the rule takes effect.
|
|
Recognized forms include:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "1X28X14" -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It 2
|
|
time in hours
|
|
.It 2:00
|
|
time in hours and minutes
|
|
.It 15:00
|
|
24-hour format time (for times after noon)
|
|
.It 1:28:14
|
|
time in hours, minutes, and seconds
|
|
.It \-
|
|
equivalent to 0
|
|
.El
|
|
where hour 0 is midnight at the start of the day,
|
|
and hour 24 is midnight at the end of the day.
|
|
Any of these forms may be followed by the letter
|
|
.Em w
|
|
if the given time is local
|
|
.Dq wall clock
|
|
time,
|
|
.Em s
|
|
if the given time is local
|
|
.Dq standard
|
|
time, or
|
|
.Em u
|
|
(or
|
|
.Em g
|
|
or
|
|
.Em z )
|
|
if the given time is universal time;
|
|
in the absence of an indicator,
|
|
wall clock time is assumed.
|
|
.It SAVE
|
|
Gives the amount of time to be added to local standard time when the rule is in
|
|
effect.
|
|
This field has the same format as the
|
|
.Em AT
|
|
field
|
|
(although, of course, the
|
|
.Em w
|
|
and
|
|
.Em s
|
|
suffixes are not used).
|
|
.It LETTER/S
|
|
Gives the
|
|
.Dq variable part
|
|
(for example, the
|
|
.Dq S
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq D
|
|
in
|
|
.Dq EST
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq EDT )
|
|
of time zone abbreviations to be used when this rule is in effect.
|
|
If this field is
|
|
.Em \&- ,
|
|
the variable part is null.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A zone line has the form
|
|
.sp
|
|
.Dl Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTILYEAR [MONTH [DAY [TIME]]]]
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Dl Zone Australia/Adelaide 9:30 Aus CST 1971 Oct 31 2:00
|
|
The fields that make up a zone line are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "RULES/SAVE" -compact
|
|
.It NAME
|
|
The name of the time zone.
|
|
This is the name used in creating the time conversion information file for the
|
|
zone.
|
|
.It GMTOFF
|
|
The amount of time to add to UT to get standard time in this zone.
|
|
This field has the same format as the
|
|
.Em AT
|
|
and
|
|
.Em SAVE
|
|
fields of rule lines;
|
|
begin the field with a minus sign if time must be subtracted from UT.
|
|
.It RULES/SAVE
|
|
The name of the rule(s) that apply in the time zone or,
|
|
alternatively, an amount of time to add to local standard time.
|
|
If this field is
|
|
.Em \&-
|
|
then standard time always applies in the time zone.
|
|
.It FORMAT
|
|
The format for time zone abbreviations in this time zone.
|
|
The pair of characters
|
|
.Em %s
|
|
is used to show where the
|
|
.Dq variable part
|
|
of the time zone abbreviation goes.
|
|
Alternatively,
|
|
a slash
|
|
.Pq \&/
|
|
separates standard and daylight abbreviations.
|
|
.It UNTILYEAR [MONTH [DAY [TIME]]]
|
|
The time at which the UT offset or the rule(s) change for a location.
|
|
It is specified as a year, a month, a day, and a time of day.
|
|
If this is specified,
|
|
the time zone information is generated from the given UT offset
|
|
and rule change until the time specified.
|
|
The month, day, and time of day have the same format as the IN, ON, and AT
|
|
fields of a rule; trailing fields can be omitted, and default to the
|
|
earliest possible value for the missing fields.
|
|
.El
|
|
The next line must be a
|
|
.Dq continuation
|
|
line; this has the same form as a zone line except that the
|
|
string
|
|
.Dq Zone
|
|
and the name are omitted, as the continuation line will
|
|
place information starting at the time specified as the
|
|
.Em until
|
|
information in the previous line in the file used by the previous line.
|
|
Continuation lines may contain
|
|
.Em until
|
|
information, just as zone lines do, indicating that the next line is a further
|
|
continuation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A link line has the form
|
|
.Dl Link LINK-FROM LINK-TO
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Dl Link Europe/Istanbul Asia/Istanbul
|
|
The
|
|
.Em LINK-FROM
|
|
field should appear as the
|
|
.Em NAME
|
|
field in some zone line;
|
|
the
|
|
.Em LINK-TO
|
|
field is used as an alternative name for that zone.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Except for continuation lines,
|
|
lines may appear in any order in the input.
|
|
However, the behavior is unspecified if multiple zone or link lines
|
|
define the same name, or if the source of one link line is the target
|
|
of another.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Lines in the file that describes leap seconds have the following form:
|
|
.Dl Leap YEAR MONTH DAY HH:MM:SS CORR R/S
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Dl Leap 1974 Dec 31 23:59:60 + S
|
|
The
|
|
.Em YEAR ,
|
|
.Em MONTH ,
|
|
.Em DAY ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Em HH:MM:SS
|
|
fields tell when the leap second happened.
|
|
The
|
|
.Em CORR
|
|
field
|
|
should be
|
|
.Dq \&+
|
|
if a second was added
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq \&-
|
|
if a second was skipped.
|
|
.\" There's no need to document the following, since it's impossible for more
|
|
.\" than one leap second to be inserted or deleted at a time.
|
|
.\" The C Standard is in error in suggesting the possibility.
|
|
.\" See Terry J Quinn, The BIPM and the accurate measure of time,
|
|
.\" Proc IEEE 79, 7 (July 1991), 894-905.
|
|
.\" or
|
|
.\" .Dq ++
|
|
.\" if two seconds were added
|
|
.\" or
|
|
.\" .Dq --
|
|
.\" if two seconds were skipped.
|
|
The
|
|
.Em R/S
|
|
field
|
|
should be (an abbreviation of)
|
|
.Dq Stationary
|
|
if the leap second time given by the other fields should be interpreted as UTC
|
|
or
|
|
(an abbreviation of)
|
|
.Dq Rolling
|
|
if the leap second time given by the other fields should be interpreted as
|
|
local wall clock time.

Here is an extended example of

|
|

|
|

|
|
.It Link Europe/Zurich Switzerland
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In this example, the zone is named Europe/Zurich but it has an alias
|
|
as Switzerland.
|
|
This example says that Zurich was 34 minutes and 8
|
|
seconds west of UT until 1853-07-16 at 00:00, when the legal offset
|
|
was changed to 7\(de\|26\(fm\|22.50\(sd; although this works out to
|
|
0:29:45.50, the input format cannot represent fractional seconds so it
|
|
is rounded here.
|
|
After 1894-06-01 at 00:00 Swiss daylight saving rules
|
|
(defined with lines beginning with "Rule Swiss") apply, and the UT offset
|
|
became one hour.
|
|
From 1981 to the present, EU daylight saving rules have
|
|
applied, and the UTC offset has remained at one hour.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In 1941 and 1942, daylight saving time applied from the first Monday
|
|
in May at 01:00 to the first Monday in October at 02:00.
|
|
The pre-1981 EU daylight-saving rules have no effect
|
|
here, but are included for completeness.
|
|
Since 1981, daylight
|
|
saving has begun on the last Sunday in March at 01:00 UTC.
|
|
Until 1995 it ended the last Sunday in September at 01:00 UTC,
|
|
but this changed to the last Sunday in October starting in 1996.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For purposes of
|
|
display, "LMT" and "BMT" were initially used, respectively.
|
|
Since
|
|
Swiss rules and later EU rules were applied, the display name for the
|
|
timezone has been CET for standard time and CEST for daylight saving
|
|
time.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
For areas with more than two types of local time,
|
|
you may need to use local standard time in the
|
|
.Em AT
|
|
field of the earliest transition time's rule to ensure that
|
|
the earliest transition time recorded in the compiled file is correct.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If,
|
|
for a particular zone,
|
|
a clock advance caused by the start of daylight saving
|
|
coincides with and is equal to
|
|
a clock retreat caused by a change in UT offset,
|
|
.Ic zic
|
|
produces a single transition to daylight saving at the new UT offset
|
|
(without any change in wall clock time).
|
|
To get separate transitions
|
|
use multiple zone continuation lines
|
|
specifying transition instants using universal time.
