NAME
__pmMktime - convert a tm structure to a calendar time
C SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h>
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
#include <pcp/impl.h>
time_t *__pmMktime(struct tm *timeptr)
cc ... -lpcp
DESCRIPTION
__pmMktime is very similar to mktime(3), except the time
zone used is the current ``reporting timezone'' (rather
than the default TZ environment variable scheme).
Like mktime(3) the time to be converted is passed via
timeptr, and the function result contains the calendar
time (the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1,
1970).
The default current reporting timezone is as defined by
the TZ environment variable, so __pmMktime and mktime(3)
will initially produce similar conversions.
Use pmNewZone(3), pmNewContextZone(3) or pmUseZone(3) to
establish a new current reporting timezone that will
effect __pmMktime but not mktime(3).
