<title>Description</title>
<para>The <filename>/etc/timezone</filename> file
configures the system-wide time zone of the local
system that is used by applications for presentation
to the user. It should contain a single
newline-terminated line consisting of a time zone
identifier such as
<literal>Europe/Berlin</literal>. The file
<filename>/etc/localtime</filename> corresponds with
<filename>/etc/timezone</filename> and contains the
binary time zone data for the time zone. These files
should always be changed simultaneously and kept in
sync.</para>
<para>The time zone may be overridden for individual
programs by using the TZ environment variable. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
