From 9d3f321e8b3a307ea8b1574a78420e82b6be46df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2013 13:15:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Support TZ transition times < 00:00:00. This is needed for version-3 tz-format files; it supports time stamps past 2037 for America/Godthab (the only entry in the tz database for which this change is relevant). * manual/time.texi (TZ Variable): Document transition times from -167:59:59 through -00:00:01. * time/tzset.c (tz_rule): Time of day is now signed.
