XXX: To be strictly correct, the tzgetname() call should probably take a time reference point in order to return the appropriate zone name for the time given.Yes, the timezone name should be associated with the specific point in time.
Of course, the problem is, what specific point in time should be used, and how is it specified? There is no argument in which the point in time could be passed. For now we should probably add a BUGS section to the man page to make note of this restriction. +--------------------+--------------------------+-----------------------+ | Paul Goyette | PGP Key fingerprint: | E-mail addresses: | | (Retired) | FA29 0E3B 35AF E8AE 6651 | paul%whooppee.com@localhost | | Software Developer | 0786 F758 55DE 53BA 7731 | pgoyette%netbsd.org@localhost | +--------------------+--------------------------+-----------------------+
