It is used on systems that have a +zoneinfo +database (the set of files describing time zones)\&. Examples of such systems are Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X\&. One likely location for these files is the +/usr/share/zoneinfo +directory (/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo +on Solaris)\&. If your system does not have a zoneinfo database, you can use the downloadable package described in +Section\ \&9.6, \(lqMySQL Server Time Zone Support\(rq\&. +.PP +\fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql\fR +can be invoked several ways: +.sp +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf +shell> \fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql \fR\fB\fItz_dir\fR\fR +shell> \fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql \fR\fB\fItz_file tz_name\fR\fR +shell> \fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql \-\-leap \fR\fB\fItz_file\fR\fR +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.PP +For the first invocation syntax, pass the zoneinfo directory path name to +\fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql\fR +and send the output into the +\fBmysql\fR +program\&.
