>Description:
The tzfile manual page has some errors and ommisions:

* it refers to a tzfile.h header file which does not appear to exist
* it talks about the first bytes of the timezoen file being reserved
	for future use, but does not specify how many bytes are reserved
* it talks about a tzh_charcnt field, containing the number of bytes
	of timezone abbreviation strings, but does not specify where 
	in the file these abbreviations are stored.


>How-To-Repeat:
man 5 tzfile
>Fix:
Correct the manpage.
