Subject: [PATCH 1/3] tzset.3: Incorrect TZ string representation
Date: Sun, 01 Feb 2015 08:13:45 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <54CE2689.7000704@gmx.com> (raw)


The TZ string representation indicates that the start/end
rules are required; this is incorrect.

Updated the TZ string format to the POSIX specification and
improve its readability by having only the optional parts in
italics.
