Often blank. # These correspond to file entries: #|# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] #|Zone America/Montreal -4:54:16 - LMT 1884 #| -5:00 Mont E%sT # Optionally, a zone may also have the key: # {link} An old name for this zone, e.g. "HST" (for Pacific/Honolulu) # Links come from the file entries: #|# Link LINK-FROM LINK-TO #|Link America/New_York EST5EDT #|Link America/Chicago CST6CDT # The name of the zone itself is not kept in the zone object. # Instead, zones are kept in a big hash. The keys are the names; the # values are references to the zone objects. The big hash of all # zones is referred to in all caps: %ZONES ($ZONES if it's a # reference). # Example: $ZONES->{"America/Los_Angeles"} = # 'format' => 'P%sT' # 'gmtoff' => '-8:00' # 'link' => 'US/Pacific-New' # 'rule' => 'US' # 'until' => '' ###################################################################### # Rules - A time zone rule is an array with the following elements: # [0] Onset rule # [1] Cease rule # [2] Encoded string # The onset rule and cease rule have the same format. They are each # references to a hash with keys: # {from} Start year # {to} End year, or "only" or "max" # {type} Unknown, usually "-" # {in} Month, 3 letters # {on} Day specifier, e.g. "lastSun", "Sun>=1", "23" # {at} Time, e.g. "2:00", "1:00u" # {save} Amount of savings, for the onset; 0 for the cease # {letter} Guess: the letter that goes into %s in the zone {format} # These correspond to the file entries thus: #|# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S #|Rule US 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War #|Rule US 1945 only - Sep 30 2:00 0 S #|Rule US 1967 max - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S #|Rule US 1967 1973 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D #|Rule US 1974 only - Jan 6 2:00 1:00 D #|Rule US 1975 only - Feb 23 2:00 1:00 D #|Rule US 1976 1986 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D #|Rule US 1987 max - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 1:00 D # Entry [2], the encoded string, is used to see if two rules are the # same. It consists of "[0]->{in},[0]->{on},[0]->{at},[0]->{save}; # [1]->{in},[1]->{on},[1]->{at}". Note that the separator between # values is a comma, between onset and cease is a semicolon. Also # note that the cease {save} is not used as this is always 0. The # whole string is forced to lowercase. # Rules don't contain their own name.
