SYNOPSIS
ctl_zoneinfo [ -C config-file ] [ -v ] -r version-string ctl_zoneinfo [ -C config-file ] [ -v ] -w file
DESCRIPTION
ctl_zoneinfo is used to perform various administrative operations on the zoneinfo database.
ctl_zoneinfo reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) <#std-cyrusman-imapd.conf-5> file unless specified otherwise by -C.
OPTIONS
- -C config-file
- Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5) <#std-cyrusman-imapd.conf-5>.
- -v, --verbose
- Enable verbose output.
- -r version-string, --rebuild=version-string
- Rebuild the zoneinfo database based on the directory structure of configdirectory/zoneinfo. The database to be rebuilt will be in the default location of configdirectory/zoneinfo.db unless otherwise specified by the zoneinfo_db_path option in imapd.conf(5) <#std-cyrusman-imapd.conf-5>. The version-string should describe the source of the timezone data (e.g. "Olson:2020a") and will be used by the tzdist module of httpd(8). The version-string must contain a colon between the description and the version.
- -w file, --windows-zone-xml=file
- Reads Windows Zone XML file.
