Time zone display options for pidiag -tz

When using pidiag -tz to display time zone information, you can include the following additional options. The syntax is:

pidiag -tz [time_string [time_zone]] [-check | -dump [-brief] | -full]

• time_string [time_zone]

  Display the Local and universal time (UT) times in seconds for the specified time string. With the optional time_zone, displays time zone information and converts the time as if the specified time zone were in effect.

• -check

  Indicates if the time zone settings on your system are invalid. If the time-zone settings are valid, the command generates no output.

• -dump [-brief]

  Dumps the entire time zone table, including fall and spring changes in every year. The dump is in comma-separated variable (CSV) format, which you can load into a spreadsheet with all time-change information for the local time zone.

With the optional -brief, the output includes the year and spring and fall time changes, each marked with D or S to denote daylight or standard time.

• -full

  Displays additional information about the localhost.tz file, such as the file’s UID, creator, and creation time. The information is valid only if Data Archive successfully loaded localhost.tz.
