/usr/bin/mariadb-tzinfo-to-sql from 11.6.2-MariaDB, client 1.1 for Linux (x86_64)

Create SQL commands for loading system timezeone data for MariaDB

Usage:
 /usr/bin/mariadb-tzinfo-to-sql [options] timezonedir
or
 /usr/bin/mariadb-tzinfo-to-sql [options] timezonefile timezonename

A typical place for the system timezone directory is "/usr/share/zoneinfo/"

Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
The following groups are read: mysql_tzinfo_to_sql
The following options may be given as the first argument:
--print-defaults          Print the program argument list and exit.
--no-defaults             Don't read default options from any option file.
The following specify which files/extra groups are read (specified before remaining options):
--defaults-file=#         Only read default options from the given file #.
--defaults-extra-file=#   Read this file after the global files are read.
--defaults-group-suffix=# Additionally read default groups with # appended as a suffix.

  -?, --help          Display this help and exit.
  -#, --debug[=#]     This is a non-debug version. Catch this and exit.
  -l, --leap          Print the leap second information from the given time
                      zone file. By convention, when --leap is used the next
                      argument is the timezonefile.
  -v, --verbose       Write non critical warnings.
  -V, --version       Output version information and exit.
  -S, --skip-write-binlog
                      Do not replicate changes to time zone tables to the
                      binary log, or to other nodes in a Galera cluster.
