TIMEZONE(3)                 BSD Programmer's Manual                TIMEZONE(3)

NAME
     timezone - return the timezone abbreviation

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 specifed 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.
