NAME
     timezone - return the timezone abbreviation

SYNOPSIS
     #include <tzfile.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.

SEE ALSO
     ctime(3)

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

BUGS

     You will be warned to replace any timezone() calls by ANSI C localtime().
