25.10.2.1 Class tzdb [time.zone.db.tzdb]

namespace std::chrono {
  struct tzdb {
    string            version;
    vector<time_zone> zones;
    vector<link>      links;

#
Each vector in a tzdb object is sorted to enable fast lookup.

const time_zone* locate_zone(string_view tz_name) const;
2
#
Returns: If a time_­zone is found for which name() == tz_­name, returns a pointer to that time_­zone.
Otherwise if a link is found for which tz_­name == link.name(), then a pointer is returned to the time_­zone for which zone.name() == link.target().
[ Note
:
A link specifies an alternative name for a time_­zone.

Throws: If a const time_­zone* cannot be found as described in the Returns: clause, throws a runtime_­error.
[ Note
:
On non-exceptional return, the return value is always a pointer to a valid time_­zone.
