Internet and computer systems
UTC is often used on the Internet for meetings (i.e IRC chats, news, shows and so on).
For e-mail, the sender time zone is used to calculate the send time, but this time is recalculated by the receiver mail client, and shown according to the receiver time zone.
On websites with mainly domestic audiences local time is often used, sometimes with UTC in brackets: e.g
the international English-language version of CNN includes GMT and Hong Kong Time, US Eastern Time and Pacific Time are also used fairly commonly on many US-based English-language websites with global readership.
The format is based in the W3C Note "datetime".
On the other hand, most modern computer operating systems include information about time zones, including the capability to automatically change the local time when daylight saving starts and finishes (see the article on daylight saving time for more details on this aspect).
Most Unix-like systems, including Linux and Mac OS X, keep system time as UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)
Rather than having a single time zone set for the whole computer, timezone offsets can vary for different processes
Standard library routines are used to calculate the local time based on the current timezone, normally supplied to processes through the TZ environment variable
This allows users in multiple timezones to use the same computer, with their respective local times displayed correctly to each user
Timezone information is most commonly stored in a timezone database known as tz database (or sometimes zoneinfo or Olson format)
In fact, many systems, including anything using the GNU C Library, can make use of this database.
Windows-based computer systems normally keep system time as local time in a particular time zone
A system database of timezone information includes the offset from UTC and rules that indicate the start and end dates for daylight saving in each zone
Application software is able to calculate the time in various zones.
Terminal Servers allow remote computers to redirect their time zone settings to the Terminal Server so that users see the correct time for their time zone in their desktop/application sessions
Terminal Services uses the server base time on the Terminal Server and the client time zone information to calculate the time in the session.
