# TZ zone descriptions

# This file contains a table with the following columns:
# 1. ISO 3166 2-character country code. See the file `iso3166.tab'.
# 2. Latitude and longitude of the zone's principal location
# in ISO 6709 sign-degrees-minutes-seconds format,
# either +-DDMM+-DDDMM or +-DDMMSS+-DDDMMSS,
# first latitude (+ is north), then longitude (+ is east).
# 3. Zone name used in value of TZ environment variable.
# 4. Comments; present if and only if the country has multiple rows.
#
# Columns are separated by a single tab.

# The table is sorted first by country, then an order within the country
that
# (1) makes some geographical sense, and
# (2) puts the most populous zones first, where that does not contradict
(1).
#
# Lines beginning with `#' are comments.
