NAME
     timezone - return the time zone abbreviation

SYNOPSIS
     #include <time.h>

     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 specified zone and dst values.	 zone is the number of minutes west of
     GMT and dst is non-zero if Daylight Saving Time is in effect.

     This function is not used to set the system's time zone.  The default
     system time zone may be set by running ``zic -l timezone'' as the
     superuser.

SEE ALSO
     ctime(3), zic(8)

HISTORY
     A timezone() function appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
