+It seems that
+.BR timezone (3)
+uses
+.B tzfile
+internally, but glibc refuses to expose it to userspace. This is most
+likely because the standardised functions are more useful and
+portable, and actually documented by glibc. It may only be in glibc
+just to support the non-glibc-maintained timezone data (which is
+maintained by some other entity).
