TIMEZONE(3) BSD Programmer's Manual TIMEZONE(3)NAMEtimezone - 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 savings time is in effect.
SEE ALSOctime(3)HISTORY
A timezone() function appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
BUGS
The timezone() function may not be safely called concurrently from multi-
ple threads, e.g., the interfaces described by pthreads(3).
