Well, use the 'See Also' sections of their manpages to track your way
toward what you want.  timezone-->ctime-->tzset... hmm, there's a missing
'See Also'.  I'll see if I can fix up some of the references there to
make it easier to find this information.

Anyway, man, apropos is apropos here.

Locate is great!  You don't have to wait for the disk!

locate <string> will find <string> in any filename on the system.  How
