In the OpenBSD manpage ctime(3) we find this passage that worries me:
Declarations of all the functions and externals, and the tm
structure, are in the <time.h> header file. The structure
(of type) struct tm in- cludes the following fields:
...
int tm_isdst; /* is summer time in effect? */
char *tm_zone; /* abbreviation of timezone name */
long tm_gmtoff; /* offset from UTC in seconds */
The tm_zone and tm_gmtoff fields exist, and are filled in,
only if arrangements to do so were made when the library
containing these functions was created. There is no
guarantee that these fields will continue to exist in this
form in future releases of this code.
Does anyone know of a *portable* and *non-deprecated* way to get
timezone information?
