tzselect(1)

NAME

   tzselect - view timezones

SYNOPSIS

   tzselect

DESCRIPTION

   This  manual page explains how you can use the tzselect utility to view
   the installed timezone. It comes handy when you want to know what  time
   it is in other countries, or if you just wonder what timezones exist.

   tzselect  is  called  without any parameters from the shell. It shows a
   list of about one dozen geographic areas one can roughly  recognize  as
   continents.  After  choosing  a  geographic  area  by number, a list of
   countries and cities in this area will be shown.

   You can press the Enter key to reprint the list. To choose a  timezone,
   just  press  the number left to it.  If your input is invalid, the list
   will be reprinted.

   You may press Ctrl-C to interrupt the script at any time.

   Note that tzselect will not actually change the timezone for  you.  Use
   'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' to achieve this.
