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.
