Timezone question.

Quick question about how unix actually changes the time at end of BST.
The line from the /etc/timezone/sources/europe is:
Rule GB-Eire 1996 max - Oct lastSun 1:00s 0
GMT
Does this mean that at 01:00am on the last Sunday of October, that the
system spends 1hr being 1:00am. Or does it mean that at 2:00am it sets
the time back an hour, which presumably would be bad.

Thanks

Robert.
