127 * On most systems, we rely on trying to match the observable behavior of
128 * the C library's localtime() function. The database zone that matches
129 * furthest into the past is the one to use. Often there will be several
130 * zones with identical rankings (since the IANA database assigns multiple
131 * names to many zones). We break ties by first checking for "preferred"
132 * names (such as "UTC"), and then arbitrarily by preferring shorter, then
133 * alphabetically earlier zone names. (If we did not explicitly prefer
134 * "UTC", we would get the alias name "UCT" instead due to alphabetic
137 * Many modern systems use the IANA database, so if we can determine the
138 * system's idea of which zone it is using and its behavior matches our zone
139 * of the same name, we can skip the rather-expensive search through all the
140 * zones in our database. This short-circuit path also ensures that we spell
141 * the zone name the same way the system setting does, even in the presence
142 * of multiple aliases for the same zone.
144 * Win32's native knowledge about timezones appears to be too incomplete
145 * and too different from the IANA database for the above matching strategy
146 * to be of any use. But there is just a limited number of timezones
147 * available, so we can rely on a handmade mapping table instead.
