.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fItzset\fP() function shall use the value of the environment
variable \fITZ\fP to set time conversion information used by
\fIctime\fP(), \fIlocaltime\fP(), \fImktime\fP(), and \fIstrftime\fP()
\&. If \fITZ\fP is absent from the
environment, implementation-defined default timezone information shall
be used.
.LP
The \fItzset\fP() function shall set the external variable \fItzname\fP
as follows:
.sp
.RS
.nf
\fBtzname[0] = "\fP\fIstd\fP\fB";
tzname[1] = "\fP\fIdst\fP\fB";
\fP
.fi
.RE
.LP
where \fIstd\fP and \fIdst\fP are as described in the Base Definitions
volume of IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Chapter 8, Environment Variables.
.LP
The \fItzset\fP() function also shall set the external variable \fIdaylight\fP
to 0 if Daylight Savings Time conversions should
never be applied for the timezone in use; otherwise, non-zero. The
external variable \fItimezone\fP shall be set to the
difference, in seconds, between Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and
local standard time.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
The \fItzset\fP() function shall not return a value.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
No errors are defined.
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
Example \fITZ\fP variables and their timezone differences are given
in the table below:
.TS C
center; l l.
TZ timezone
EST5EDT 5*60*60
GMT0 0*60*60
JST-9 -9*60*60
MET-1MEST -1*60*60
MST7MDT 7*60*60
PST8PDT 8*60*60
