TimeZoneConverter.Posix

TimeZoneConverter.Posix

---

TimeZoneConverter.Posix generates POSIX time zone strings from standard time zone identifiers. POSIX time zones are useful in certain scenarios where time zone data is not present, such as when working with IoT devices.

It is a separate helper library that is maintained in the same repository as TimeZoneConverter. You only need it if you require support for POSIX time zones.

Note that TimeZoneConverter.Posix is dependendent on both TimeZoneConverter and Noda Time at run time.

Installation

• Add the TimeZoneConverter.Posix NuGet package to your project.
• Import the TimeZoneConverter.Posix namespace where needed.

Compatibility

As of version 4.0.0, TimeZoneConverter.Posix works with all of the following:

• .NET 5 or greater
• .NET Core 2.0 or greater
• .NET Framework 4.6.2 and greater

.NET Framework versions less than 4.6.2 are no longer supported.

Example Usage

Generate a POSIX time zone string from a Windows time zone ID.

string posix = PosixTimeZone.FromWindowsTimeZoneId("Eastern Standard Time");
// Result: "EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0"

Generate a POSIX time zone string from an IANA time zone name.

string posix = PosixTimeZone.FromIanaTimeZoneName("Australia/Sydney");
// Result: "AEST-10AEDT,M10.1.0,M4.1.0/3"

Generate a POSIX time zone string from a TimeZoneInfo object.

string posix = PosixTimeZone.FromTimeZoneInfo(TimeZoneInfo.Local);
