Transform timezone offset to timezone

Source: R/aaa_utils.R
tzoffset_to_tz.Rd

Converts UTC offsets such as "-05:00" (5 hours behind UTC) into the matching fixed-offset Olson time zone. Note that Etc/GMT zones use an inverted sign convention, so "-05:00" is "Etc/GMT+5".

Usage

tzoffset_to_tz(x)

Arguments

x

A character vector of offsets in the form "+HH:MM" or "+HH:MM:SS"

Value

A character vector

Examples

tzoffset_to_tz(c("+00:00", "-05:00", "+01:00"))
#> [1] "Etc/GMT0"  "Etc/GMT+5" "Etc/GMT-1"
