 <p>iconvconfig is only relevant if iconv is user-configurable; musl uses a

 <p>getconf is a posix utility which displays several variables from

 <p>locale was discussed under <a href=#susv4>posix</a>.
 localedef compiles locale definitions, which musl currently does not use.</p>
 
 <p>mtrace is a perl script to use the malloc debugging that glibc has built-in;
 this is not relevant for musl, and would necessarily vary with libc. </p>

 <p>nscd is a name service caching daemon, which is not yet relevant for musl.
 rpcinfo and rpcent are related to rpc, which musl does not include.</p>
 
+<p>The remaining commands involve glibc's bundled timezone database,

 <p>tzselect outputs a TZ variable correponding to user input. 
 The documentation does not indicate how to use it in a script, but it seems
 that Debian may have done so.
 zdump prints current time in each of several timezones, optionally
 outputting a great deal of extra information about each timezone.
-zic converts a description of a timezone to a file in the tz format.</p>
