Subject: Is there a way to get the “full” time zone currently in use?

Hello Zsh Friends,

I am trying to use zsh to find the current time-zone that the computer uses.

I know that this:

`strftime "%Z" "$EPOCHSECONDS"`

will show me the current timezone (EDT, in my case) but I'm looking for
"America/New_York"

The only way that I can find to get that information on the Mac is

`sudo systemsetup -gettimezone`

but it seems absurd to need to use `sudo` to get that information.

I searched the web and found that the variable "TZ" is supposed to hold
this command, but TZ is empty in my testing on my Macs, so that's no help
either.

I've got to imagine that there's _some_ way to do this, but I'm stuck
trying to figure it out.

Anyone have a solution?

Thanks for your time

Tj
