For example, to set the UTC-5 time zone, you specify the string
"5"
, because UTC-5 is 5 hours
behind UTC and you must add 5 hours to the local time to determine UTC time. To specify the time
zone UTC4, you specify
"-4"
, because UTC4 is 4 hours ahead of UTC and 4 hours must be
subtracted from the local time to determine UTC.
dstStart
and
dstEnd
are strings of the form
"MM.w.dw/hh[:mm[:ss]]"
that indicate when
daylight savings time begins and ends respectively:
•
MM
is a number between 1 and 12 that represents the month
•
w
is a number between 1 and 5 that represents the week in the month
•
dw
is a number between 0 and 6 that represents the day of the week (where 0 is Sunday)
The rest of the fields represent the time of day that the change takes effect:
•
hh
represents hours
•
mm
represents minutes
•
ss
represents seconds
The minutes and seconds fields are optional.
The week of the month and day of the week fields are not specific dates.
