+.SH NAME
+daylight,
+timezone,
+tzname,
+tzset
+\(em set timezone conversion information
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <time.h>
+.P
+extern int daylight;
+extern long timezone;
+extern char *tzname[2];
+void tzset(void);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fItzset\fR()
+function shall use the value of the environment variable
+.IR TZ
+to set time conversion information used by
+.IR "\fIctime\fR\^(\|)",
+.IR "\fIlocaltime\fR\^(\|)",
+.IR "\fImktime\fR\^(\|)",
+and
+.IR "\fIstrftime\fR\^(\|)".
+If
+.IR TZ
+is absent from the environment, implementation-defined default
+timezone information shall be used.
+.P
+The
+\fItzset\fR()
+function shall set the external variable
+.IR tzname
+as follows:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+tzname[0] = "\fIstd\fP";
+tzname[1] = "\fIdst\fP";
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+where
+.IR std
+and
+.IR dst
+are as described in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Chapter 8" ", " "Environment Variables".
+.P
+The
+\fItzset\fR()
+function also shall set the external variable
+.IR daylight
+to 0 if Daylight Savings Time conversions should never be applied for
+the timezone in use; otherwise, non-zero. The external variable
+.IR timezone
+shall be set to the difference, in seconds, between Coordinated
+Universal Time (UTC) and local standard time.
+.P
+If a thread accesses
+.IR tzname ,
+.IR daylight ,
+or
+.IR timezone
+directly while another thread is in a call to
+\fItzset\fR(),
+or to any function that is required or allowed to set timezone
+information as if by calling
+\fItzset\fR(),
+the behavior is undefined.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+The
+\fItzset\fR()
+function shall not return a value.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Example
+.IR TZ
+variables and their timezone differences are given in the table below:
+.TS
+center box tab(!);
+cI | cI
+lw(1i) | lw(1i).

+MET-1MEST!\-1*60*60

+PST8PDT!8*60*60
+.TE
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+Since the
+\fIctime\fR(),
+\fIlocaltime\fR(),
+\fImktime\fR(),
+\fIstrftime\fR(),
+and
+\fIstrftime_l\fR()
+functions are required to set timezone information as if by calling
+\fItzset\fR(),
+there is no need for an explicit
+\fItzset\fR()
+call before using these functions. However, portable applications
+should call
+\fItzset\fR()
+explicitly before using
+\fIctime_r\fR()
+or
+\fIlocaltime_r\fR()
+because setting timezone information is optional for those functions.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
