|  | KTimeZone | zone
| ) |  |  |

Parses a tzfile file to extract detailed information for one time zone.

Parameters:

  | zone | the time zone for which data is to be extracted

Returns:
  a KTzfileTimeZoneData instance containing the parsed data. The caller is responsible for deleting the KTimeZoneData instance. Null is returned on error.
