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.
