MirOS Manual: timezone(3)

TIMEZONE(3)                BSD Programmer's Manual                 TIMEZONE(3)

NAME

     timezone - return the timezone abbreviation

SYNOPSIS

     #include <time.h>

     char *
     timezone(int zone, int dst);

DESCRIPTION

     This interface is for compatibility only; it is impossible to reliably
     map timezone()'s arguments to a time zone abbreviation (see ctime(3)).

     The timezone() function returns a pointer to a time zone abbreviation for
     the specified zone and dst values. zone is the number of minutes west of
     GMT and dst is non-zero if Daylight Saving Time is in effect.

     This function is not used to set the system's time zone. The default sys-
     tem time zone may be set by running "zic -l timezone" as the superuser.

SEE ALSO

     ctime(3), zic(8)

HISTORY

     A timezone() function appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
