list_unix()

list_win()

remove(k)

salt.modules.win_timezone.get_hwclock()

Get current hardware clock setting (UTC or localtime)

Note

The hardware clock is always local time on Windows so this will always return "localtime"

CLI Example:

salt '*' timezone.get_hwclock

salt.modules.win_timezone.get_offset()

Get current numeric timezone offset from UTC (i.e. -0700)

Returns:	Offset from UTC
Return type:	str

CLI Example:

salt '*' timezone.get_offset

salt.modules.win_timezone.get_zone()

Get current timezone (i.e. America/Denver)

Returns:	Timezone in unix format
Return type:	str

CLI Example:

salt '*' timezone.get_zone

salt.modules.win_timezone.get_zonecode()

Get current timezone (i.e. PST, MDT, etc)

Returns:	An abbreviated timezone code
Return type:	str

CLI Example:

salt '*' timezone.get_zonecode

salt.modules.win_timezone.list(unix_style=True)

Parameters:	unix_style (bool) -- True returns Unix-style timezones. False returns Windows-style timezones. Default is True
Returns:	A list of supported timezones
Return type:	list

CLI Example:

# Windows-style timezones
salt '*' timezone.list unix_style=False

salt.modules.win_timezone.set_hwclock(clock)

Sets the hardware clock to be either UTC or localtime

Note

The hardware clock is always local time on Windows so this will always return False
