- tzdb: CMake and bash script to build and convert time zone data from https://www.iana.org/time-zones into the Nintendo Switch's format.
- tzdb2nx: C++ program that converts a single tzif file to the Nintendo's format.
The fine folks over at [SwitchBrew](https://switchbrew.org/wiki/PSC_services#ITimeZoneService) have left very helpful information on reading the data.
Nintendo's file is simply the TZif version 2 data, with standard_indicators and ut_indicators data stripped out (and the necessary modifications needed in the header to make the data valid).
This means the TZif 1 data is not present, so essentially we are left with the second half of each file.
Nintendo also does not seem to run the `zic` program on their output when they build the time zone data.
I have left the relevant build command for that in src/tzdb/CMakeLists.txt commented out, but it isn't used here.
This lets the project produce data identical to Nintendo's firmware for time zones, however this code does not produce the time zone data on US/Pacific-New or America/East-Saskatchewan (I may have bunged up the actual paths for these as this is 3 day old memory).
