na_timezone - set and obtain the local timezone
timezone [ name | -v ]
timezone sets the system timezone and saves the setting
for use on subsequent boots. The argument name specifies
the timezone to use. See the system documentation for a
complete list of time zone names. If no argument is supplied,
the current time zone name is printed. If -v is
specified, the version of the zoneinfo files is printed in
the format YYYYv, where YYYY is the year and v is the version,
for example 2007a. This version can be compared to
the version at ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub for currency.
Each timezone is described by a file that is kept in the
/etc/zoneinfo directory on the filer. The name argument
is actually the name of the file under /etc/zoneinfo that
describes the timezone to use. For instance, the name
"America/Los_Angeles" refers to the timezone file
/etc/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles. These files are in
standard ``Arthur Olson'' timezone file format, as used on
many flavors of UNIX (SunOS 4.x and later, 4.4BSD, System
V Release 4 and later, and others).
GMT+13 is to allow DST for timezone GMT+12.
