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 timezone'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.
