Manual: tzselect

TZSELECT(1)				Debian Timezone Configuration				 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 geo‐
       graphic 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.
