Use the lstimezones command to list the time zones that are available
on the system. Each timezone is assigned an ID that can be used in the
settimezone command to set the time zone.
Syntax
lstimezones [ -nohdr ] [ -delimdelimiter ]
Parameters
- -nohdr
- (Optional) By default, headings are displayed for each column of data in a concise style
view, and for each item of data in a detailed style view. The -nohdr
parameter suppresses the display of these headings.
Note: If there is no data to be displayed,
headings are not displayed.
- -delim delimiter
- (Optional) By default in a concise view, all columns of data are space-separated. The width
of each column is set to the maximum width of each item of data. In a detailed view, each item
of data has its own row, and if the headers are displayed, the data is separated from the
header by a space. The -delim parameter overrides this behavior. Valid
input for the -delim parameter is a 1-byte character. If you enter
-delim : on the command line, the colon character (:)
separates all items of data in a concise view; for example, the spacing of columns does not
occur. In a detailed view, the data is separated from its header by a colon character.
Description
This command displays a list
of all the time zones that are available on the system. Each time zone is assigned an ID. This
