tznames: Timezone Names

In datetimeutils: Utilities for Dates and Times

Timezone Names

Description

A mapping between tz database (a.k.a. Olson database) and Windows timezone names.

Usage

data("tznames")

Format

A data frame of the following 2 variables:

Windows

a character vector: the timezone names used under Windows and its applications (e.g. in Outlook calendars)

Olson

a character vector of the names returned by OlsonNames

Details

The data are auto-generated from file windowsZones.xml in the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (https://cldr.unicode.org/). See https://www.unicode.org/copyright.html and https://www.unicode.org/license.html for the terms of use.

There is no 1-to-1 mapping between names: several Olson names typically map to a single Windows name.
