# Contributed by Paul Eggert. This file is in the public domain.
# Porting notes:
#
# This script requires a Posix-like shell and prefers the extension of a
# 'select' statement. The 'select' statement was introduced in the
# Korn shell and is available in Bash and other shell implementations.
# If your host lacks both Bash and the Korn shell, you can get their
# source from one of these locations:
#
# Bash <https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/>
# Korn Shell <http://www.kornshell.com/>
# MirBSD Korn Shell <https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm>
#
# For portability to Solaris 9 /bin/sh this script avoids some POSIX
# features and common extensions, such as $(...) (which works sometimes
# but not others), $((...)), and $10.
#
# This script also uses several features of modern awk programs.
# If your host lacks awk, or has an old awk that does not conform to Posix,
# you can use either of the following free programs instead:
#
# Gawk (GNU awk) <https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/>
# mawk <https://invisible-island.net/mawk/>
# Specify default values for environment variables if they are unset.
: ${AWK=awk}
: ${TZDIR=/usr/share/zoneinfo}
# Output one argument as-is to standard output.
# Safer than 'echo', which can mishandle '\' or leading '-'.
say() {
printf '%s\n' "$1"
}
# Check for awk Posix compliance.

usage="Usage: tzselect [--version] [--help] [-c COORD] [-n LIMIT]
Select a timezone interactively.
Options:
-c COORD
Instead of asking for continent and then country and then city,
ask for selection from time zones whose largest cities
are closest to the location with geographical coordinates COORD.
COORD should use ISO 6709 notation, for example, '-c +4852+00220'
for Paris (in degrees and minutes, North and East), or
'-c -35-058' for Buenos Aires (in degrees, South and West).
-n LIMIT
Display at most LIMIT locations when -c is used (default $location_limit).
--version
Output version information.
--help
Output this help.
Report bugs to $REPORT_BUGS_TO."
