+      Changing the TZ variable using process.env.TZ = changes the timezone
+      on POSIX systems.
+-->
+
+The `TZ` environment variable is used to specify the timezone configuration.
+
+While the Node.js support for `TZ` will not handle all of the various
+[ways that `TZ` is handled in other environments][], it will support basic
+[timezone IDs][] (such as `'Etc/UTC'`, `'Europe/Paris'` or `'America/New_York'`.
+It may support a few other abbreviations or aliases, but these are strongly
+discouraged and not guaranteed.
+
+```console
+$ TZ=Europe/Dublin node -pe "new Date().toString()"
+Wed May 12 2021 20:30:48 GMT+0100 (Irish Standard Time)
