You will find it in the timezone file itself. Use "zdump" to look at
the file of interest:
[root@golem zoneinfo]# zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Japan
Japan Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901 GMT = Sat Dec 14 05:45:52 1901 JST
isdst=0
Japan Sat Dec 14 20:45:52 1901 GMT = Sun Dec 15 05:45:52 1901 JST
isdst=0
Japan Mon Jan 18 03:14:07 2038 GMT = Mon Jan 18 12:14:07 2038 JST
isdst=0
Japan Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 GMT = Tue Jan 19 12:14:07 2038 JST
isdst=0
Wow, that is a short set of rules! The PST8PDT file is 374 lines ;)
