Timezone for OCaml

Timezone handles parsing timezone data and create [Timezone.t] that can later be used to manipulate time incore (using [Time] and [Time_ns] modules).

Timezone is currently only able to read the Timezone Database provided byIANA. It should work out of the box on Linux and macOS.

Where are the timezone data located ?

The location of the timezone files can be set using the environment variableTZDIR. If not set, [Timezone] will fallback to/usr/share/zoneinfo/.

What is the local timezone ?

The local timezone can be set using the environment variableTZ. If not set, [Timezone] will fallback to/etc/localtime. In a JavaScript context, we automatically set the environment variableTZ toIntl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone.

Compatibility with JavaScript.

The [Timezone] library can be used when constructing JavaScript applications withJs_of_ocaml.

In the past, web browsers needed to be provided with a copy of the timezone database, but this is no longer required.
