Open System Services System Calls Reference Manual (G06.25+, H06.03+)

Miscellaneous environ(5)
TIME_SERVER
Specifies the virtual host that the security client will try to synchronize its clock
against. This host must have a DTS server (dtsd) running on it. The recom-
mended choice for the host is the one running the master security server (the
name specified in the SEC_SERVER variable).
Used by the dce_config command.
TMOUT Specifies the number of seconds the shell waits for a response to a prompt before
timing out.
TMPDIR Specifies a pathname that overrides the default directory for temporary files,
/tmp. (Used by the c89 utility.)
TOLERANCE_SEC
Specifies the number of seconds a client system clock can differ from the secu-
rity server system clock before either the user is prompted to synchronize the
clocks or the clocks are synchronized automatically.
The default is 120 seconds.
Both the security service and the CDS service require that there be no more than
a 5-minute difference between the clocks on any two nodes in a cell.
Used by the dce_config command.
TOTAL_CLERKS
Specifies the number of CDS clerks for this host. On NonStop DCE systems,
CDS clerks are shared among users (unlike some other DCE systems, which use
one CDS clerk for each user ID).
The default is 1.
Used by the dce_config command.
TZ Specifies the time zone used by the shell and by time functions
to override the default timezone. The value of TZ has the following form:
[:]stdoffset[dst[offset][,start[/time],end[/time]]]
std and dst Indicates no less than three, nor more than TZNAME_MAX,
bytes that are the designation for the standard (std) or the alter-
native (dst, such as Daylight Savings Time) timezone. Only std
is required; if dst is omitted, then the alternative time does not
apply in this locale. Uppercase and lowercase letters are
allowed. Any graphic characters except a leading colon (:)or
digits, the comma (,), the minus sign (-), the plus sign (+), and
the null character can appear in these fields.
If preceded by a -, the timezone is east of the Prime Meridian;
otherwise, the timezone is west of the Prime Meridian (a condi-
tion that can be indicated by an optional preceding +).
offset Indicates the value to add to or subtract from the local time to
arrive at Coordinated Universal Time. The offset has the form:
hh[:mm[:ss]]
The hour (hh) is required and can be a single digit. The minutes
(mm) and seconds (ss) are optional.
The offset following std is required. If no offset follows dst, the
