TZInfo::Timezone — Ruby on Rails 2.3.18

Timezone is the base class of all timezones. It provides a factory method get to access timezones by identifier. Once a specific Timezone has been retrieved, DateTimes, Times and timestamps can be converted between the UTC and the local time for the zone. For example:

tz = TZInfo::Timezone.get('America/New_York')
puts tz.utc_to_local(DateTime.new(2005,8,29,15,35,0)).to_s
puts tz.local_to_utc(Time.utc(2005,8,29,11,35,0)).to_s
puts tz.utc_to_local(1125315300).to_s

Each time conversion method returns an object of the same type it was passed.

The timezone information all comes from the tz database (see www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm)
