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:
“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
