How can I acquire the timezone information about when a timezone change occurs

  • 772

I need to know in advance when a timezone change will occur. I need to know when UK's GMT turns into BST and vice versa.

I don't want to find out what my current timezone is and I don't want to change it.

There must be a way to query the timezone database stored on linux to find out this information.

Thanks Mark

    Install tzdata package.

    e.g. if you're using Ubuntu:

    sudo apt install tzdata

    Having your timezone data updated you can get this data in advance using zdump command:

    zdump -v America/New_York
