Is EST5EDT equal to ET?
问题 I know that ET (Eastern Time) has the DST from EST and EDT, but im looking for that timezone in different libraries of different programming languages and ET is not an option, but EST5EDT is. Thanks. 回答1: Short answer : No, They are not equal because EST5EDT doesn't have any history of changes that US Eastern Time has been through. Use America/New_York instead, which does. Longer answer: EST5EDT is a POSIX time zone definition which can be used in a TZ environment variable on many systems.
