I used the localtime() function in the following code snippet:
....
tm = localtime(&ps->date);
printf("---------------------\n");
printf("Date: %d/%02d/%02d %02d:%02d:%02d\ n",
1900 + tm->tm_year, tm->tm_mon + 1, tm->tm_mday,
tm->tm_hour, tm->tm_min, tm->tm_sec);
....
The printout listed the time one hour off from GMT (probably due to
daylight saving..) instead in local time which is EDT.
The timezone for the platform (Linux Redhat8.0) seems to be setup
correctly. I try to set the TZ with different values, but the results
are for some reason not stable.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot!

On the several platforms I have to hand at the moment (none of which are RH
8.0), daylight time offsets appear to be applied to the GMT, not to the
local time.
You may want to check a newsgroup devoted to your compiler and/or platform,
as tzset(), while a popular function, is not part of ANSI/ISO C.
That being said, compare this code with TZ=EST5EDT and TZ=EST5:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int main(void)
{
time_t t;
struct tm *gmt, *lat;
tzset();
printf("Local timezone is TZ=%s\n\n", getenv("TZ"));
t = time(NULL);
lat = localtime(&t);
printf("Local time is : %s", asctime(lat));
gmt = gmtime(&t);
printf("GMT is : %s", asctime(gmt));
return 0;
}
Output:
C:\>set tz=EST5EDT
C:\>ltime
Local timezone is TZ=EST5EDT
Local time is : Tue Aug 26 12:27:19 2003
GMT is : Tue Aug 26 16:27:19 2003
C:\>set tz=EST5
C:\>ltime
Local timezone is TZ=EST5
Local time is : Tue Aug 26 12:27:26 2003
GMT is : Tue Aug 26 17:27:26 2003

Your timezone and/or system time isn't set properly, very common. How
to set this is RedHat or linux specific and therefore not a topic
in a C newsgroup.

UTC time is never influenced by summertime or daylight time, ever.
The local wall clock time may be. BTW GMT is the former name for UTC
and is now used as the name for British standard time.
Whether the system time is running wall clock time or UTC time is
system dependent, and the zone offset is either subtracted from
the local time to get UTC time, or added to the UTC time to get
localtime. This is all system dependent and not a C issue.

The program listed below demonstrates the use of wcsftime() and

isn't C; but the "problem" lies in the C library implementation of
wcsftime()). I'm not sure if this is a platform-dependent feature or
part of the C standard.
I've compiled with GCC 3.4.3 on GNU/Linux, and run in an en_GB UTF-8

Hi all,
Appreciate if someone can help me out on this.
Currently, I have a tm structure holding information of the UTC time,
which is very likely to be in the past, meaning not the current time.
So, let's say I'm in CST(-6) now, and I want to know the equivalent
local time of that tm structure, how do I do that taking into
consideration daylight savings adjustments?

script is printing output correct but not the actual output.
Basically what the script is doing it taking a 1 flat file
then it is splits the file into smaller files in 1000 record increments
then it creates another file and adds the header the file contents of the old file.
and the file with the header is then renamed to file format i want which is txt.

I have some old data files with old timestamps, where
timestmap=time(NULL), some of them date back to the
year 1999.
I want to my code to print the timestamps and each one to
include hour:minute:second as of the corresponding old day.
The only routine for this job seems to be
localtime(timestmap) - this is Windows Vista,
Visual Studio 2005 C++.
