There are four possible kinds of such values: - Traditional US time zone names, e.g. "PST8PDT". Syntax: see - Time zone names based on geography, that contain one or more slashes, e.g. "Europe/Moscow". - Time zone names based on geography, without slashes, e.g. "Singapore". - Time zone names that contain explicit DST rules. Syntax: see The Microsoft CRT understands only the first kind. It produces incorrect results if the value of TZ is of the other kinds. But in a Cygwin environment, /etc/profile.d/tzset.sh sets TZ to a value of the second kind for most geographies, or of the first kind in a few other geographies. If it is of the second kind, neutralize it. For the Microsoft CRT, an absent or empty TZ means the time zone that the user has set in the Windows Control Panel. If the value of TZ is of the third or fourth kind -- Cygwin programs understand these syntaxes as well --, it does not matter whether we neutralize it or not, since these values occur only when a Cygwin user has set TZ explicitly; this case is 1. rare and 2. under the user's responsibility. */ const char *tz = getenv ("TZ"); if (tz != NULL && strchr (tz, '/') != NULL) _putenv ("TZ="); #endif return ctime (tp); }
