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.
