.Sh NAME
.Nm asctime ,
.Nm ctime ,
.Nm difftime ,
.Nm gmtime ,
.Nm localtime ,
.Nm mktime
.Nd transform binary date and time value to
.Tn ASCII
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <time.h>
.Vt extern char *tzname[2];
.Ft char *
.Fn ctime "const time_t *clock"
.Ft double
.Fn difftime "time_t time1" "time_t time0"
.Ft char *
.Fn asctime "const struct tm *tm"
.Ft struct tm *
.Fn localtime "const time_t *clock"
.Ft struct tm *
.Fn gmtime "const time_t *clock"
.Ft time_t
.Fn mktime "struct tm *tm"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The functions
.Fn ctime ,
.Fn gmtime
and
.Fn localtime
all take as an argument a time value representing the time in seconds since
the Epoch (00:00:00
.Tn UTC ,
January 1, 1970; see
.Xr time 3 ) .
.Pp
The function
.Fn localtime
converts the time value pointed at by
.Fa clock ,
and returns a pointer to a
.Dq Fa struct tm
(described below) which contains
the broken-out time information for the value after adjusting for the current
time zone (and any other factors such as Daylight Saving Time).
Time zone adjustments are performed as specified by the
.Ev TZ
environmental variable (see
.Xr tzset 3 ) .
The function
.Fn localtime
uses
.Xr tzset
to initialize time conversion information if
.Xr tzset
has not already been called by the process.
.Pp
After filling in the tm structure,
.Fn localtime
sets the
.Fa tm_isdst Ns 'th
element of
.Fa tzname
to a pointer to an
.Tn ASCII
string that's the time zone abbreviation to be
used with
.Fn localtime Ns 's
return value.
.Pp
The function
.Fn gmtime
similarly converts the time value, but without any time zone adjustment,
and returns a pointer to a tm structure (described below).
.Pp
The
.Fn ctime
function
adjusts the time value for the current time zone in the same manner as
.Fn localtime ,
and returns a pointer to a 26-character string of the form:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
Thu Nov 24 18:22:48 1986\en\e0
.Ed
.Pp
All the fields have constant width.
.Pp
The
.Fn asctime
function
converts the broken down time in the structure
.Fa tm
pointed at by
.Fa *tm
to the form
shown in the example above.
.Pp
The function
.Fn mktime
converts the broken-down time, expressed as local time, in the structure
pointed to by tm into a time value with the same encoding as that of the
values returned by the
.Xr time 3
function, that is, seconds from the Epoch,
.Tn UTC .
.Pp
The original values of the
.Fa tm_wday
and
.Fa tm_yday
components of the structure are ignored, and the original values of the
other components are not restricted to their normal ranges.
(A positive or zero value for
.Fa tm_isdst
causes
.Fn mktime
to presume initially that summer time (for example, Daylight Saving Time)
is or is not in effect for the specified time, respectively.
A negative value for
.Fa tm_isdst
causes the
.Fn mktime
function to attempt to divine whether summer time is in effect for the
specified time.)
.Pp
On successful completion, the values of the
.Fa tm_wday
and
.Fa tm_yday
components of the structure are set appropriately, and the other components
are set to represent the specified calendar time, but with their values
forced to their normal ranges; the final value of
.Fa tm_mday
is not set until
.Fa tm_mon
and
.Fa tm_year
are determined.
.Fn Mktime
returns the specified calendar time; if the calendar time cannot be
represented, it returns \-1;
.Pp
The
.Fn difftime
function
returns the difference between two calendar times,
.Pf ( Fa time1
-
.Fa time0 ) ,
expressed in seconds.
.Pp
External declarations as well as the tm structure definition are in the
.Aq Pa time.h
include file.
The tm structure includes at least the following fields:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
int tm_sec; /\(** seconds (0 - 60) \(**/
int tm_min; /\(** minutes (0 - 59) \(**/
int tm_hour; /\(** hours (0 - 23) \(**/
int tm_mday; /\(** day of month (1 - 31) \(**/
int tm_mon; /\(** month of year (0 - 11) \(**/
int tm_year; /\(** year \- 1900 \(**/
int tm_wday; /\(** day of week (Sunday = 0) \(**/
int tm_yday; /\(** day of year (0 - 365) \(**/
int tm_isdst; /\(** is summer time in effect? \(**/
char \(**tm_zone; /\(** abbreviation of timezone name \(**/
long tm_gmtoff; /\(** offset from UTC in seconds \(**/
.Ed
.Pp
The
field
.Fa tm_isdst
is non-zero if summer time is in effect.
.Pp
The field
.Fa tm_gmtoff
is the offset (in seconds) of the time represented from
.Tn UTC ,
with positive
values indicating east of the Prime Meridian.

.Sh HISTORY
This manual page is derived from
the time package contributed to Berkeley by
Arthur Olsen and which appeared in
.Bx 4.3 .
.Sh BUGS
Except for
.Fn difftime
and
.Fn mktime ,
these functions leaves their result in an internal static object and return
a pointer to that object. Subsequent calls to these
function will modify the same object.
.Pp
The
.Fa tm_zone
field of a returned tm structure points to a static array of characters,
which will also be overwritten by any subsequent calls (as well as by
subsequent calls to
.Xr tzset 3
and
.Xr tzsetwall 3 ) .
.Pp
Use of the external variable
.Fa tzname
is discouraged; the
.Fa tm_zone
entry in the tm structure is preferred.
.Pp
Avoid using out-of-range values with
.Fn mktime
when setting up lunch with promptness sticklers in Riyadh.

.Dt TZSET 3
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm tzset ,
.Nm tzsetwall
.Nd initialize time conversion information
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <time.h>
.Ft void
.Fn tzset void
.Ft void
.Fn tzsetwall void
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn tzset
function
initializes time conversion information used by the library routine
.Xr localtime 3 .
The environment variable
.Ev TZ
specifies how this is done.
.Pp
If
.Ev TZ
does not appear in the environment, the best available approximation to
local wall clock time, as specified by the
.Xr tzfile 5 Ns -format
file
.Pa /etc/localtime
is used.
.Pp
If
.Ev TZ
appears in the environment but its value is a null string, Coordinated
Universal Time
.Pq Tn UTC
is used (without leap second correction).
.Pp
If
.Ev TZ
appears in the environment and its value begins with a colon
.Pq Ql \: ,
the rest of its value is used as a pathname of a
.Xr tzfile 5 Ns -format
file from which to read the time conversion information.
If the first character of the pathname is a slash
.Pq Ql /
it is used as
an absolute pathname; otherwise, it is used as a pathname relative to
the system time conversion information directory.
.Pp
If its value does not begin with a colon, it is first used as the pathname
of a file (as described above) from which to read the time conversion
information.
If that file cannot be read, the value is then interpreted as a direct
specification (the format is described below) of the time conversion
information.
.Pp
If the
.Ev TZ
environment variable does not specify a
.Xr tzfile 5 Ns -format
file and cannot be interpreted as a direct specification,
.Tn UTC
is used.
.Pp
The
.Fn tzsetwall
function
sets things up so that
.Xr localtime
returns the best available approximation of local wall clock time.
.Sh SPECIFICATION FORMAT
When
.Ev TZ
is used directly as a specification of the time conversion information,
it must have the following syntax (spaces inserted for clarity):
.Bd -filled -offset indent
.Em std offset Bo
.Em dst Bo
.Em offset
.Bc
.Bo
.No , Em rule
.Bc
.Bc
.Ed
.Pp
Where:
.Bl -tag -width std_and_dst -offset indent
.It Em std No and Em dst
Three or more bytes that are the designation for the standard
.Pq Em std
or summer
.Pq Em dst
time zone. Only
.Em std
is required; if
.Em dst
is missing, then summer time does not apply in this locale.
Upper and lowercase letters are explicitly allowed. Any characters
except a leading colon
.Pq Ql : ,
digits, comma
.Pq Ql \&, ,
minus
.Pq Ql \- ,
plus
.Pq Ql + ,
and
.Tn ASCII
.Dv NUL
are allowed.
.It Em offset
Indicates the value one must add to the local time to arrive at
Coordinated Universal Time. The
.Em offset
has the form:
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
.Em hh Bo
.Pf \&: Em mm
.Bo
.Pf \&: Em ss
.Bc
.Bc
.Ed
.Pp
The minutes
.Pq Em mm
and seconds
.Pq Em ss
are optional. The hour
.Pq Em hh
is required and may be a single digit. The
.Em offset
following
.Em std
is required. If no
.Em offset
follows
.Em dst ,
summer time is assumed to be one hour ahead of standard time. One or
more digits may be used; the value is always interpreted as a decimal
number. The hour must be between zero and 24, and the minutes (and
seconds) \(em if present \(em between zero and 59. If preceded by a
.Pq Ql \-
the time zone shall be east of the Prime Meridian; otherwise it shall be
west (which may be indicated by an optional preceding
.Pq Ql + ) .
.It Em rule
Indicates when to change to and back from summer time. The
.Em rule
has the form:
.Bd -filled -offset indent
.Em date/time,date/time
.Ed
.Pp
where the first
.Em date
describes when the change from standard to summer time occurs and the
second
.Em date
describes when the change back happens. Each
.Em time
field describes when, in current local time, the change to the other
time is made.
.Pp
The format of
.Em date
is one of the following:
.Bl -tag -width "M.m.n.d"
.It Sy J Em n
The Julian day
.Em n
(1 \*(Le
.Em n
\*(Le 365).
Leap days are not counted; that is, in all years \(em including leap
years \(em February 28 is day 59 and March 1 is day 60. It is
impossible to explicitly refer to the occasional February 29.
.It Em n
The zero-based Julian day
(0 \*(Le
.Em n
\*(Le 365 ) .
Leap days are counted, and it is possible to refer to February 29.
.It Sy M Em m.n.d
The
.Em d Ns 'th
day (0 \*(Le
.Em d
\*(Le 6 )
of week
.Em n
of month
.Em m
of the year
(1 \*(Le
.Em n
\*(Le 5),
(1 \*(Le
.Em m
\*(Le 12),
where week 5 means
.Do
the last
.Em d
day in month
.Em m
.Dc
which may occur in either the fourth or the fifth week). Week 1 is the
first week in which the
.Em d Ns 'th
day occurs. Day zero is Sunday.
.Pp
The
.Em time
has the same format as
.Em offset
except that no leading sign
.Pq Ql \-
or
.Pq Ql +
is allowed. The default, if
.Em time
is not given, is
.Sy 02:00:00 .
.El
.Pp
If no
.Em rule
is present in the
.Ev TZ
specification, the rules specified
by the
.Xr tzfile 5 Ns -format
file
.Em posixrules
in the system time conversion information directory are used, with the
standard and summer time offsets from
.Tn UTC
replaced by those specified by
the
.Em offset
values in
.Ev TZ .
.El
.Pp
For compatibility with System V Release 3.1, a semicolon
.Pq Ql ;
may be used to separate the
.Em rule
from the rest of the specification.
.Sh FILES
