Users who run 'date' will get the 9# time zone abbreviation "-00", indicating that the actual time zone 10# is unknown. 11 12# TZ="Factory" was added to TZDB in 1989, and in 2016 its abbreviation 13# was changed to "-00" from a longish English-language error message. 14# Around 2010, CLDR added "Etc/Unknown" for use with TZDB, to stand 15# for an unknown or invalid time zone. These two notions differ: 16# TZ="Factory" is a valid timezone, so tzalloc("Factory") succeeds, whereas 17# TZ="Etc/Unknown" is invalid and tzalloc("Etc/Unknown") fails. 18# Also, a downstream distributor could modify Factory to be a 19# default timezone suitable for the devices it manufactures, 20# whereas that cannot happen for Etc/Unknown. 21 22# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT 23Zone Factory 0 - -00 24
