tzset
Sets time zone conversion information.
Syntax
#include <time.h> /* proto */
void tzset (void);
Parameters
None.
Return Values
None.
Description
The tzset function uses the value of the user-defined environment
variable TZ to set time conversion information used by localtime(),
ctime(), strftime(), and mktime().
The tzset() function sets the external variable tzname:
extern char *tzname[2] = {"std", "dst"};
where std and dst are described in the HP C/iX Library Reference Manual.
If no TZ environment variable exists, Eastern Standard Time (EST) and
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) for the United States are used (EST5EDT is
assumed for TZ).
