stri_timezone_get {stringi} | R Documentation

## Set or Get Default Time Zone in stringi

### Description

`stri_timezone_set` changes the current default time zone for all functions in the stringi package, i.e. establishes the meaning of the “`NULL` time zone” argument to date/time processing functions. On the other hand, `stri_timezone_get` gets the current default time zone.

For more information on time zone representation in ICU and stringi, refer to `stri_timezone_list`.

### Usage

    stri_timezone_get()

    stri_timezone_set(tz)

### Arguments

`tz` | single string; time zone identifier

### Details

Unless the default time zone has already been set using `stri_timezone_set`, the default time zone is determined by querying the OS with methods in ICU's internal platform utilities.

### Value

`stri_timezone_set` returns a string with previously used timezone, invisibly.

`stri_timezone_get` returns a single string with the current default time zone.
