The standard path for the timezone database is /usr/share/zoneinfo/ on most Unix-like systems, including Linux distributions. The file command has support for displaying the binary timezone files in a human-friendly textual form built-in:
$ file /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin: timezone data, version 2, 8 gmt time flags, 8 std time flags, no leap seconds, 144 transition times, 8 abbreviation chars

Famous quotes containing the word systems:
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
