NAME
timezone —
return the time zone
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 system time zone may be set by running “zic
-l timezone” as the superuser.
