Re: [tz] What are the interfaces to the TZDB?

Which are we talking about?  There are already the POSIX interfaces.   Are we talking about the binary files?  Is this something on which we are likely to gain consensus?

AFAIK, the only way to enumerate the available zones in a typical installation is to search the directory tree. This isn't great, not least because it means that non-tzcode code has to know where that directory tree is. It'd be good to support that functionality in a more direct fashion. regards, tom lane
