NAME

       __pmMktime - convert a tm structure to a calendar time

C SYNOPSIS

       #include <time.h>
       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
       #include <pcp/impl.h>

       time_t *__pmMktime(struct tm *timeptr);

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION

       __pmMktime  is  very similar to mktime(3), except the timezone used is the current ``reporting timezone'' (rather than the default TZ envi-
       ronment variable scheme).

       Like mktime(3) the time to be converted is passed via timeptr, and the function result contains the calendar time (the  number  of  seconds
       since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970).

       The  default  current  reporting  timezone is as defined by the TZ environment variable, so __pmMktime and mktime(3) will initially produce
       similar conversions.

       Use pmNewZone(3), pmNewContextZone(3) or pmUseZone(3) to establish a new current reporting timezone that will  effect  __pmMktime  but  not
       mktime(3).
