Variable: zoneinfo-style-world-list

zoneinfo-style-world-list is a customizable variable defined in time.el.gz.

 ("Europe/London" "London") ("Europe/Paris" "Paris")
 ("Asia/Kolkata" "Delhi") ("Asia/Tokyo" "Tokyo"))

Documentation

Alist of zoneinfo-style time zones and places for world-clock.

Each element has the form (TIMEZONE LABEL). TIMEZONE should be a string of the form AREA/LOCATION, where AREA is the name of a region -- a continent or ocean, and LOCATION is the name of a specific location, e.g., a city, within that region. LABEL is a string to display as the label of that TIMEZONE's time.

This option has effect only on systems that support TZDB-style TZ strings specified as AREA/LOCATION. In particular, MS-Windows doesn't support that; use legacy-style-world-list instead. Also, AREA/LOCATION must specify a timezone supported by your system, otherwise the behavior depends on the underlying OS and library.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 23.1.
