Title tzset() behaviour quirk
Ref. No. QNX.000001556
Category(ies) Development
Issue After calling some time functions, the timezone global variable is not set correctly even though daylight and tzname contain the proper values. Whether we are in Standard Time or Daylight Time the timezone variable is set according to the standard time (winter).
That leads me think that tzset() does not extract the Daylight Saving Time offset from
the TZ environment variable.
Does some fix exist?






Solution This behaviour is not a bug, but was not properly documented either. The docs people have the information and the documentation should be updated shortly.
