+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para>The <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> file configures the
+    system-wide timezone of the local system that is used by
+    applications for presentation to the user. It should be an
+    absolute or relative symbolic link pointing to
+    <filename>/usr/share/zoneinfo/</filename>, followed by a timezone
+    identifier such as <literal>Europe/Berlin</literal> or
+    <literal>Etc/UTC</literal>. The resulting link should lead to the
+    corresponding binary
+    <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>tzfile</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    timezone data for the configured timezone.</para>
+
+    <para>Because the timezone identifier is extracted from the
+    symlink target name of <filename>/etc/localtime</filename>, this
+    file may not be a normal file or hardlink.</para>
+
+    <para>The timezone may be overridden for individual programs by
+    using the <varname>$TZ</varname> environment variable. See
+    <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+    <para>You may use
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    to change the settings of this file from the command line during
+    runtime. Use
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    to initialize the time zone on mounted (but not booted) system
+    images.</para>
