pmlocaltime(3)

NAME

   pmLocaltime - convert the date and time for a reporting timezone

C SYNOPSIS

   #include <time.h>
   #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

   struct tm *pmLocaltime(const time_t *clock, struct tm *result);

   cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION

   pmLocaltime  is  very similar to localtime(3), except the timezone used
   is the current ``reporting  timezone''  (rather  than  the  default  TZ
   environment variable scheme), and the result is returned into a caller-
   declared buffer (rather than a private buffer).

   Like localtime(3) the time to be converted is passed via clock, and the
   result  contains  the  components  broken out in the elements of the tm
   struct.

   pmLocaltime returns result as the value of the function.

   The default  current  reporting  timezone  is  as  defined  by  the  TZ
   environment  variable,  so  pmLocaltime and localtime(3) will initially
   produce a similar encoding of the date and time.

   Use pmNewZone(3), pmNewContextZone(3) or pmUseZone(3)  to  establish  a
   new  current  reporting  timezone  that will affect pmLocaltime but not
   localtime(3).
