SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h>
extern int daylight;
extern long timezone;
extern char *tzname[];
DESCRIPTION
Inclusion of the <time.h> header file provides for definitions of daylight, timezone and tzname as shown in the SYNOPSIS section. The daylight variable is set to 0 if Daylight Savings Time conversions should never be applied for the time zone in use; otherwise it is non-zero. The variable timezone is set to the difference, in seconds, between Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and local standard time. The variable tzname is an array of two character strings. The first element is the name of the standard time zone (for example, Eastern Standard Time), and the second is the name of the alternate time zone, if one exists (for example, Eastern Daylight Time).
These variables are set initially when the process starts, and are
updated whenever the
Programs should obtain these definitions by the inclusion of <time.h>. The practice of defining the variables in a program such as
extern char *tzname[];
(without including <time.h>) is unsupported.
