timezone(3) BSD Library Functions Manual timezone(3)
NAME
timezone -- return the timezone abbreviation
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
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. The zone argument is the number of
minutes west of GMT and dst is non-zero if daylight savings time is in
effect.
