char *
timezone(

DESCRIPTION
This interface is
available for compatibility only and will disappear in a future software
release; it is impossible to reliably map timezone's arguments to a time zone
abbreviation. See
ctime(3); see
tzset(3) for the new definition
of this interface.
The
timezone() function returns a pointer to a time zone
abbreviation for the specified
zone and
dst values.
Zone is the number of
minutes west of GMT and
dst is non-zero if daylight
savings time is in effect.

timezone() function appeared in
