The get method will return a subclass of TZInfo::Timezone, either a DataTimezone (for a time zone defined by rules that set out when transitions occur) or a LinkedTimezone (for a time zone that is just a link to or alias for a another time zone).

Parameters:

• identifier (String) —

  an IANA Time Zone Database time zone identifier.

Returns:

• (Timezone) —

  the TZInfo::Timezone with the given identifier.

Raises:

• (InvalidTimezoneIdentifier) —

  if the identifier is not valid.
