tzfile(5) should not reference tzfile.h -- it's an internal header,
not for public consumption. tzfile.5 may well be more correct --
there is some amount of version skew between libc and zic(8). (For
example, the current file format includes a magic number at the
beginning of the file, which libc doesn't know about or check for.)
