# gworldclock(1)

Displays time and date in specified time zones.

## NAME

gworldclock - Displays time and date in specified time zones.

## SYNOPSIS

**gworldclock** \[ **-f** *FILE* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**gworldclock** displays the time and date of specified time zones using a GTK+ interface. It also allows the zones to be "rendezvoused" or "synchronised" to a time other than the current time.

The time zones may be chosen from the list given in the GUI user interface.  The zones available are generated from the data in /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab.  The chosen set of zones is stored in ${HOME}/.tzlist by default, but an alternate file may be specified at the command line via -f. Alternatively this file may be created by hand in TZ format. The zone list is kept in a format consistent with the shell script tzwatch, currently found in twclock.  The format consists of one TZ string per line, optionally followed by a human-friendly string enclosed in inverted commas ("), providing a name for the zone.

## OPTIONS

- **-f** *FILE*

  Read zone list from *FILE* instead of ${HOME}/.tzlist.

## SEE ALSO

tzwatch (1)
