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 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.
