#
# A hash of timezones mapped to hour differences from UTC. The
# set of time zones corresponds to the ones specified by RFC 2822
# and ISO 8601.

ZoneOffset = {
'UTC' => 0,
# ISO 8601
......
'N' => -1, 'O' => -2, 'P' => -3, 'Q' => -4, 'R' => -5, 'S' => -6,

# Return the number of seconds the specified time zone differs
# from UTC.
#
# Numeric time zones that include minutes, such as
# <code>-10:00</code> or <code>+1330</code> will work, as will
# simpler hour-only time zones like <code>-10</code> or
# <code>+13</code>.
#
# Textual time zones listed in ZoneOffset are also supported.
#
# If the time zone does not match any of the above, +zone_offset+
# will check if the local time zone (both with and without
# potential Daylight Saving \Time changes being in effect) matches
# +zone+. Specifying a value for +year+ will change the year used
# to find the local time zone.
#
# If +zone_offset+ is unable to determine the offset, nil will be
# returned.
