Timezone database file format question

Question

I am reading from the timezone files generated from the Olson database to find when timezones change, and what they change to. The format of the timezone files is described in tzfile.h.

For my question, I will use the data I got for Europe/Rome.

I might have it working correctly, because my output correctly matches what timeanddate.com says. For example, my program correctly says that:

On March 28, 1982 02:00:00 the timezone changes to GMT +2.000000.

On September 26, 1982 03:00:00 the timezone changes to GMT +1.000000.

This is confirmed here: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/clockchange.html?n=215&year=1982

However, I am unsure if I need to use tzh_ttisstdcnt and tzh_ttisgmtcnt.

From tzfile.h:

Then there are tzh_ttisstdcnt standard/wall indicators, each stored as a one-byte value; they tell whether the transition times associated with local time types were specified as standard time or wall clock time, and are used when a timezone file is used in handling POSIX-style timezone environment variables.

Finally, there are tzh_ttisgmtcnt UTC/local indicators, each stored as a one-byte value; they tell whether the transition times associated with local time types were specified as UTC or local time, and are used when a timezone file is used in handling POSIX-style timezone environment variables.

I have found that each "time-type" (ttinfo struct) has a isstd and isgmt byte. These are the 6 "time-types" for Europe/Rome:

 Type 0, CEST, DST? = 1, GMT+2, isstd? = 1, isgmt? = 0
 Type 1, CET,  DST? = 0, GMT+1, isstd? = 1, isgmt? = 0
 Type 2, CEST, DST? = 1, GMT+2, isstd? = 0, isgmt? = 0
 Type 3, CET,  DST? = 0, GMT+1, isstd? = 0, isgmt? = 0
 Type 4, CEST, DST? = 1, GMT+2, isstd? = 1, isgmt? = 1
 Type 5, CET,  DST? = 0, GMT+1, isstd? = 1, isgmt? = 1

tzfile.h makes it sound like isstd and isgmt tell you how the transition times are stored (gmt vs localtime). However, my code currently assumes that all transitions times are stored as GMT. My program's output matches timeanddate.com for all 6 transition types.

Also, I don't understand how types 0 and 1 can be std and not gmt. I thought GMT was standard time.

Any explanation would be great.

Edit:

It appears that my output is almost matching the data on timeanddate.com when I ignore the isstd and isgmt options. I am currently interpreting all transition times as GMT:

Transition types for Rome:

new type 0: isdst = 1 offset = 7200 abbreviation = 0 isstd = 1 isgmt = 0

new type 1: isdst = 0 offset = 3600 abbreviation = 5 isstd = 1 isgmt = 0

new type 2: isdst = 1 offset = 7200 abbreviation = 0 isstd = 0 isgmt = 0

new type 3: isdst = 0 offset = 3600 abbreviation = 5 isstd = 0 isgmt = 0

new type 4: isdst = 1 offset = 7200 abbreviation = 0 isstd = 1 isgmt = 1

Data for Rome (assuming all transition time are given as GMT):

The starting timezone is GMT+1

My 2nd and 4th transition are an hour later than those listed here, but almost everything else looks like it matches.

Answer 1

'Standard time' refers to 'winter time' as opposed to 'summer time' or 'daylight saving time'. Yes, GMT (loosely; strictly, UTC) is 'the standard for time', but it is not quite the same as what is being referred to by the 'isstd' column in your data.

The point about 'isstd' being 0 or 1 is that the transition times in Europe are (normally) specified to take place at 02:00 in the current time zone.

Thus, the clocks for Europe/Rome went:

1982-03-28 01:59:59 (UTC+01:00)
1982-03-28 03:00:00 (UTC+02:00)

This transition was documented to occur at 02:00 standard time (so isstd = 1), but this was not a UTC (GMT) time; hence it was a Type 0 transition in your list. Conversely, in the autumn, the clocks went:

1982-09-26 01:59:59 (UTC+02:00)
1982-09-26 01:00:00 (UTC+01:00)

The transition was documented to occur at 02:00 in time zone prevailing prior to the switch, so isstd = 0 (but it was not a UTC (GMT) time); hence, it was a Type 3 transition in your list.

The other combinations (types 1, 2, 4, 5) appear in other circumstances. For the same two transitions, you'd use a type 4 entry and document the change time as 01:00 UTC (because 01:00:00+00:00 is the same as 02:00:00+01:00; and you'd use a type 5 entry and document the change time as 00:00 UTC (because 00:00:00+00:00 is the same as 02:00:00+02:00). Note that the switch times here are different from each other. Analogous differences in the description apply to types 1 and 2.
