NAME
timezone -- return the timezone abbreviation
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
char * timezone(int zone, int dst);
DESCRIPTION
This interface is available for compatibility only and will disappear in a future software release; it is impossible to reliably map time- zone's arguments to a time zone abbreviation. See ctime(3); see tzset(3) for the new definition of this interface. 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 ALSO
ctime(3), tzset(3)
HISTORY
A timezone() function appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
BSD
April 19, 1994 BSD
