Hi, I'm trying to parse the compiled (i.e.zic'd) time zone files. Is there a document indicating the exact structure of the files? I did a 'man tzfile' but it's not exact: NAME tzfile - time zone information SYNOPSIS #include <tzfile.h> DESCRIPTION The time zone information files used by tzset(3) begin with bytes reserved for future use, followed by six four- byte values of type long, written in a ``standard'' byte order (the high-order byte of the value is written first). These values are, in order: How many bytes is "...bytes..."? What would be most helpful is some code (preferably in C) showing how to parse the files. Also I looked at the rule files, and I sort of understand them, but I'm not too sure what the format is exactly as well as some of the syntax (e.g. what is 'Link')?
