# Porting notes:
#
# This script requires a POSIX-like shell and prefers the extension of a
# 'select' statement.  The 'select' statement was introduced in the
# Korn shell and is available in Bash and other shell implementations.
# If your host lacks both Bash and the Korn shell, you can get their
# source from one of these locations:
#
#	Bash <https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/>
#	Korn Shell <http://www.kornshell.com/>
#	MirBSD Korn Shell <http://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm>
#
# For portability to Solaris 10 /bin/sh (supported by Oracle through
# January 2027) this script avoids some POSIX features and common
# extensions, such as $(...), $((...)), ! CMD, unquoted ^, ${#ID},
# ${ID##PAT}, ${ID%%PAT}, and $10.  Although some of these constructs
# work sometimes, it's simpler to avoid them entirely.
#
# This script also uses several features of POSIX awk.
# If your host lacks awk, or has an old awk that does not conform to POSIX,
# you can use any of the following free programs instead:
#
#	Gawk (GNU awk) <https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/>
#	mawk <https://invisible-island.net/mawk/>
#	nawk <https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk>
#
# Because 'awk "VAR=VALUE" ...' and 'awk -v "VAR=VALUE" ...' are not portable
# if VALUE contains \, ", or newline, awk scripts in this file use:
#   awk 'BEGIN { VAR = substr(ARGV[1], 2); ARGV[1] = "" } ...' ="VALUE"
# The substr avoids problems when VALUE is of the form X=Y and would be
# misinterpreted as an assignment.

# Specify default values for environment variables if they are unset.
: ${AWK=awk}
: ${TZDIR=`pwd`}

# Output one argument as-is to standard output, with trailing newline.
# Safer than 'echo', which can mishandle '\' or leading '-'.
say() {
  printf '%s\n' "$1"
}

# Check for awk POSIX compliance.

usage="Usage: tzselect [--version] [--help] [-c COORD] [-n LIMIT]
Select a timezone interactively.

Options:

  -c COORD
    Instead of asking for continent and then country and then city,
    ask for selection from time zones whose largest cities
    are closest to the location with geographical coordinates COORD.
    COORD should use ISO 6709 notation, for example, '-c +4852+00220'
    for Paris (in degrees and minutes, North and East), or
    '-c -35-058' for Buenos Aires (in degrees, South and West).

  -n LIMIT
    Display at most LIMIT locations when -c is used (default $location_limit).

  --version
    Output version information.

  --help
    Output this help.
