pmUseZone3

Re-establish a reporting timezone

C synopsis

#include <pcp/pmapi.h>

int pmUseZone(const int tz_handle);

cc ... -lpcp

Overview

The current reporting timezone effects the timezone used by pmCtime(3) and pmLocaltime(3).

The argument tz_handle identifies a reporting timezone as previously established by a call to pmNewZone(3) or pmNewContextZone(3), and this becomes the current reporting timezone.

Diagnostics

A return value less than zero indicates the value of tz_handle is not legal.
