+The
+.B zdump
+program prints the current time in each
+.I timezone
+named on the command line.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \*-\*-version
+Output version information and exit.
+.TP
+.B \*-\*-help
+Output short usage message and exit.
+.TP
+.B \*-i
+Output a description of time intervals.  For each
+.I timezone
+on the command line, output an interval-format description of the
+timezone.  See
+.q "INTERVAL FORMAT"
+below.
+.TP
+.B \*-v
+Output a verbose description of time intervals.
+For each
+.I timezone
+on the command line,
+print the times at the two extreme time values,
+the times (if present) at and just beyond the boundaries of years that
+.BR localtime (3)
+and
+.BR gmtime (3)
+can represent, and
+the times both one second before and exactly at
+each detected time discontinuity.
+Each line is followed by
+.BI isdst= D
+where
+.I D
+is positive, zero, or negative depending on whether
+the given time is daylight saving time, standard time,
+or an unknown time type, respectively.
+Each line is also followed by
+.BI gmtoff= N
+if the given local time is known to be
+.I N
+seconds east of Greenwich.
+.TP
+.B \*-V
+Like
+.BR \*-v ,
+except omit output concerning extreme time and year values.
+This generates output that is easier to compare to that of
+implementations with different time representations.
+.TP
+.BI "\*-c " \fR[\fIloyear , \fR]\fIhiyear
+Cut off interval output at the given year(s).
+Cutoff times are computed using the proleptic Gregorian calendar with year 0
+and with Universal Time (UT) ignoring leap seconds.
+Cutoffs are at the start of each year, where the lower-bound
+timestamp is inclusive and the upper is exclusive; for example,
+.B "\*-c 1970,2070"
+selects transitions on or after 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
+and before 2070-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
+The default cutoff is
+.BR \*-500,2500 .
+.TP
+.BI "\*-t " \fR[\fIlotime , \fR]\fIhitime
+Cut off interval output at the given time(s),
+given in decimal seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00
+Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
+The
+.I timezone
+determines whether the count includes leap seconds.
+As with
+.BR \*-c ,
+the cutoff's lower bound is inclusive and its upper bound is exclusive.
+.SH "INTERVAL FORMAT"
+The interval format is a compact text representation that is intended
+to be both human- and machine-readable.  It consists of an empty line,
+then a line
+.q "TZ=\fIstring\fP"
+where
+.I string
+is a double-quoted string giving the timezone, a second line
+.q "\*- \*- \fIinterval\fP"
+describing the time interval before the first transition if any, and
+zero or more following lines
+.q "\fIdate time interval\fP",
+one line for each transition time and following interval.  Fields are
+separated by single tabs.
+.PP
+Dates are in
+.IR yyyy - mm - dd
+format and times are in 24-hour
+.IR hh : mm : ss
+format where
+.IR hh <24.
+Times are in local time immediately after the transition.  A
+time interval description consists of a UT offset in signed
+.RI \(+- hhmmss
+format, a time zone abbreviation, and an isdst flag.  An abbreviation
+that equals the UT offset is omitted; other abbreviations are
+double-quoted strings unless they consist of one or more alphabetic
+characters.  An isdst flag is omitted for standard time, and otherwise
+is a decimal integer that is unsigned and positive (typically 1) for
+daylight saving time and negative for unknown.
+.PP
+In times and in UT offsets with absolute value less than 100 hours,
+the seconds are omitted if they are zero, and
+the minutes are also omitted if they are also zero.  Positive UT
+offsets are east of Greenwich.  The UT offset \*-00 denotes a UT
+placeholder in areas where the actual offset is unspecified; by
+convention, this occurs when the UT offset is zero and the time zone
+abbreviation begins with
+.q "\*-"
+or is
+.q "zzz".
+.PP
+In double-quoted strings, escape sequences represent unusual
+characters.  The escape sequences are \es for space, and \e", \e\e,
+\ef, \en, \er, \et, and \ev with their usual meaning in the C
+programming language.  E.g., the double-quoted string
+\*(lq"CET\es\e"\e\e"\*(rq represents the character sequence \*(lqCET
+"\e\*(rq.\""
+.PP

+Here is an example of the output, with the leading empty line omitted.
+(This example is shown with tab stops set far enough apart so that the
+tabbed columns line up.)

+Here, local time begins 10 hours, 31 minutes and 26 seconds west of
+UT, and is a standard time abbreviated LMT.  Immediately after the
+first transition, the date is 1896-01-13 and the time is 12:01:26, and
+the following time interval is 10.5 hours west of UT, a standard time
+abbreviated HST.  Immediately after the second transition, the date is
+1933-04-30 and the time is 03:00:00 and the following time interval is
+9.5 hours west of UT, is abbreviated HDT, and is daylight saving time.
+Immediately after the last transition the date is 1947-06-08 and the
+time is 02:30:00, and the following time interval is 10 hours west of
+UT, a standard time abbreviated HST.

+This time zone is east of UT, so its UT offsets are positive.  Also,
+many of its time zone abbreviations are omitted since they duplicate
+the text of the UT offset.
+.SH LIMITATIONS
+Time discontinuities are found by sampling the results returned by
+.BR localtime (3)
+at twelve-hour intervals.
+This works in all real-world cases;
+one can construct artificial time zones for which this fails.
+.PP
+In the
+.B \*-v
+and
+.B \*-V
+output,
+.q "UT"
+denotes the value returned by
+.BR gmtime (3),
+which uses UTC for modern timestamps and some other UT flavor for
+timestamps that predate the introduction of UTC.
+No attempt is currently made to have the output use
+.q "UTC"
+for newer and
+.q "UT"
+for older timestamps, partly because the exact date of the
+introduction of UTC is problematic.
