Notes

the time zone initialization process is performed once after each boot and only at the first function call. This is a principle used on the AS400 during OPDP (OPEN-DATA-SPACE).

This is a standard date processing library, plus a feature for SQL that supports a NULL zone.
See examples in the zig_sql project.

In SQL, there are two ways of handling dates:
“NULL”, e.g. invoicing not processed.

“0000-00-00” is not a valid date, it's just an indication, you shouldn't use it in your SQL.

The date becomes invalid, for example when a record is “deinit”.
Dte.DATE.dateOff(&dfacture), becomes “0000-00-00” its status changes to false.

Normally, if you don't fiddle with the date apart from retrieving twisted text,
there'll be no error, catch unreachable instead of tryv

To regenerate the timezone.zig file, run gensrc.sh from the create_timezones folder.
this file is generated from timedatectl

isBad The “isBad” function checks for consistent date completeness

If you use an uninitialized or already uninitialized field, or isBad this will trigger an @panic error. --> CRTL

To be dynamic, an LMDB file is generated at each reboot only if the readTimezone() function is used.

Time-zone processing in source file ./liboffset/timeoffset.zig

searchWeek” is a function that determines the number of weeks, the last week and the start of week 01.
