NAME

6       pmLocaltime - convert the date and time for a reporting timezone
7

C SYNOPSIS

9       #include <time.h>
10       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
11
12       struct tm *pmLocaltime(const time_t *clock, struct tm *result)

DESCRIPTION

17       pmLocaltime  is  very similar to localtime(3), except the timezone used
18       is the current ``reporting timezone'' (rather than the default TZ envi‐
19       ronment  variable  scheme),  and  the result is returned into a caller-
20       declared buffer (rather than a private buffer).
21
22       Like localtime(3) the time to be converted is passed via clock, and the
23       result  contains  the  components  broken out in the elements of the tm
24       struct.
25
26       pmLocaltime returns result as the value of the function.
27
28       The default current reporting timezone is as defined by the TZ environ‐
29       ment variable, so pmLocaltime and localtime(3) will initially produce a
30       similar encoding of the date and time.
31
32       Use pmNewZone(3), pmNewContextZone(3) or pmUseZone(3)  to  establish  a
33       new  current  reporting  timezone  that will affect pmLocaltime but not
34       localtime(3).
