The following options are available:
| Open all files and directories relative to chroot_directory. |
| Do not create or copy files. |
| Reinstall the zoneinfo file installed last time. The name is obtained from /var/db/zoneinfo. |
| Skip the initial question about adjusting the clock if not set to UTC. |
It is possible to short-circuit the menu system by specifying the location of a zoneinfo_file or the name of the zoneinfo_name on the command line; this is intended mainly for pre-configured installation scripts or people who know which zoneinfo they want to install.
The maintainers of the database maintain the following policies:
/etc/localtime | current time zone file |
/etc/wall_cmos_clock | see adjkerntz(8) |
/usr/share/misc/iso3166 | mapping of ISO 3166 territory codes to names |
