+# A xpybar configuration example that demonstrates how you can
+# write a configuration that lets you change the clock between
+# any timezone you want using the keyboard or terminal.
+
+# This example requires the package python-posix_ipc, and the
+# example command requires the package cmdipc.
+
+# Caveat: This example is only written to support local displays.
+# If the host part of $DISPLAY contains a dot, this example will
+# not work as expected.
+
+# Caveat: The IPC objects are not cleaned up on exit.
+# After exiting you may want to run
+#     cmdipc -PQrk "/~${USER}.xpybar.$(echo "${DISPLAY}" | cut -d . -f 1)"
+
+# To switch between UTC and localtime run the command
+#     cmdipc -PQk "/~${USER}.xpybar.$(echo "${DISPLAY}" | cut -d . -f 1)" send -- tz ${THE_TIMEZONE_YOU_WANT}
+# You may want to add an executable file in your ~/.local/bin
+# (which should you include in your $PATH) containing the code
+#     #!/bin/sh
+#     exec cmdipc -PQk "/~${USER}.xpybar.$(echo "${DISPLAY}" | cut -d . -f 1)" send -- tz "$@"
+# You can then add a hotkey to xbindkeys running that command
+# with a timezone as a argument, or run it in the terminal.
+# If the timezone is omitted, local time is used.
