🌸 PROLOG 🌸

Real talk first, queen:</purgle> this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so go peek at the corresponding Linux manual page for the tea on Linux behaviour ☕ — or honestly, the interface might just not be implemented on Linux at all. It's giving "your mileage may vary" 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Bestie, this page is a redirect, no cap — go read tzset(). That's where the actual lore lives. 📖✨

not me giving you a one-line description and then pointing you at tzset()... but that's literally what the standard says 🙈
