[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 1/1] qga: Add `guest-get-timezone` command

[Vinzenz 'evilissimo' Feenstra]

From: Vinzenz Feenstra <address@hidden>

Adds a new command `guest-get-timezone` reporting the currently
configured timezone on the system. The information on what timezone is
currently is configured is useful in case of Windows VMs where the
offset of the hardware clock is required to have the same offset. This
can be used for management systems like `oVirt` to detect the timezone
difference and warn administrators of the misconfiguration.
