General procedure:
# apropos time zone | less
... [stuff] ...
tzfile(5) - timezone information
tzset(3), tzsetwall(3) - initialize time conversion information
tzsetup(8) - set local timezone
... [stuff] ...
# man tzsetup
... [stuff] ...
TIMEZONE DATABASE
The contents of the timezone database are indexed by
/usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab. This file lists, for each timezone data
file, the ISO 3166 territory code, approximate geographical coordinates
(in ISO 6709 format), and location within the territory.
... [stuff] ...
# grep Berlin /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab
DE +5230+01322 Europe/Berlin
Even if that's not the answer you're after, hopefully the apropos...man
sequence will help you find it...
Cheers,
Dan
