Setting the time zone of the newly created cluster from initdb via the
environment variable isn't documented in the initdb section (but very handy).
Attached is a patch adding a mention of TZ in the Environment section.
Unless objections I'll add it to the open commitfest.
cheers ./daniel

Looks good to me, applied. 9.4 is still open for docs patches so I
back-patched it there, as this is clearly an omission/bug.

What is a "full time zone name"? Where is that term documented?
Also, I wouldn't write "should use", but "will use".

Full time zone name is the term used in section 8.5.3 for the America/New_York
style time zone names, perhaps linking to that section like how we link to the
locale section etc would be appropriate?

Fair enough, that does make it clearer.
I can submit a patch with these changes if you want?

Fixed it. Thanks for the pointer.
