These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship information.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> file configures the
|
|
system-wide timezone of the local system that is used by
|
|
applications for presentation to the user. It should be an
|
|
absolute or relative symbolic link pointing to
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/zoneinfo/</filename>, followed by a timezone
|
|
identifier such as <literal>Europe/Berlin</literal> or
|
|
<literal>Etc/UTC</literal>. The resulting link should lead to the
|
|
corresponding binary
|
|
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>tzfile</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
timezone data for the configured timezone.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Because the timezone identifier is extracted from the
|
|
symlink target name of <filename>/etc/localtime</filename>, this
|
|
file may not be a normal file or hardlink.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The timezone may be overridden for individual programs by
|
|
using the <varname>$TZ</varname> environment variable. See
|
|
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You may use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to change the settings of this file from the command line during
|
|
runtime. Use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to initialize the time zone on mounted (but not booted) system
|
|
images.</para>
