## 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.
