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 time‐
       zone. 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  tz‐
       data' to achieve this.
