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.
