-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.B tzselect
-program asks the user for information about the current location,
-and outputs the resulting timezone to standard output.
-The output is suitable as a value for the TZ environment variable.
-.PP
-All interaction with the user is done via standard input and standard error.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.BI "\*-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
-.I coord.
-Use ISO 6709 notation for
-.I coord,
-that is, a latitude immediately followed by a longitude. The latitude
-and longitude should be signed integers followed by an optional
-decimal point and fraction: positive numbers represent north and east,
-negative south and west. Latitudes with two and longitudes with three
-integer digits are treated as degrees; latitudes with four or six and
-longitudes with five or seven integer digits are treated as
-.I "DDMM, DDDMM, DDMMSS,"
-or
-.I DDDMMSS
-representing
-.I DD
-or
-.I DDD
-degrees,
-.I MM
-minutes,
-and zero or
-.I SS
-seconds, with any trailing fractions represent fractional minutes or
-(if
-.I SS
-is present) seconds. The decimal point is that of the current locale.
-For example, in the (default) C locale,
-.B "\*-c\ +40.689\*-074.045"
-specifies 40.689\*d\*_N, 74.045\*d\*_W,
-.B "\*-c\ +4041.4\*-07402.7"
-specifies 40\*d\*_41.4\*m\*_N, 74\*d\*_2.7\*m\*_W, and
-.B "\*-c\ +404121\*-0740240"
-specifies 40\*d\*_41\*m\*_21\*s\*_N, 74\*d\*_2\*m\*_40\*s\*_W.
-If
-.I coord
-is not one of the documented forms, the resulting behavior is unspecified.
-.TP
-.BI "\*-n " limit
-When
-.B \*-c
-is used, display the closest
-.I limit
-locations (default 10).
-.TP
-.B "\*-\*-help"
-Output help information and exit.
-.TP
-.B "\*-\*-version"
-Output version information and exit.
