However, it doesn't work on, for example, Windows, which doesn't use the IANA tz database.
(I think) the only thing that doesn't work on Windows is specifying the timezone in that format. At least according to:
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2629#c4you can still set the TZ variable on Windows (in a command shell) and Wireshark will use it. Presumably you just need to know the right format.
(Personally I'm more used to doing things like TZ=PDT than these fancy new-fangled TZ names; maybe Windows still uses that format--as that comment suggests?)
