tzutil: Get the current time zone.
$ tzutil /g
try on your machine

The command "tzutil /g" is used in Windows operating systems to retrieve the currently set time zone information.

  • "tzutil" is the Windows Time Zone Utility command-line tool that allows you to manage time zone settings.
  • "/g" is a command-line switch used with tzutil to indicate that you want to get or retrieve the current time zone.

When you execute "tzutil /g" in a Command Prompt or PowerShell window, Windows will return the current time zone information in a standardized format. This includes the time zone's display name, the time zone ID (a unique identifier) used by Windows for that time zone, and the status (whether it's currently enabled or not).
