Well, use the 'See Also' sections of their manpages to track your way
toward what you want.  timezone-->ctime-->tzset... hmm, there's a missing
'See Also'.  I'll see if I can fix up some of the references there to
make it easier to find this information.

Anyway, man, apropos is apropos here.

locate <string> will find <string> in any filename on the system.  How
many examples could you need?
