pmNewZone3
Establish a reporting timezone
C synopsis
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
int pmNewZone(const char *tz);
cc ... -lpcp
Overview
The current reporting timezone affects the timezone used by pmCtime(3) and pmLocaltime(3).
The argument tz defines a timezone string, in the format described for the TZ environment variable, see environ(7).
pmNewZone sets the current reporting timezone, and returns a value that may be used in a subsequent call to pmUseZone(3) to restore this reporting timezone.
Diagnostics
A return value less than zero indicates a fatal error from a system call, most likely malloc(3).
