CAVEAT

       This documentation is intended for internal Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) developer use.

       These  interfaces  are not part of the PCP APIs that are guaranteed to remain fixed across

DESCRIPTION

       __pmMktime  is  very  similar  to  mktime(3),  except  the  timezone  used  is the current
       ``reporting timezone'' (rather than the default TZ environment variable scheme).

       Like mktime(3) the time to be converted is passed via timeptr,  and  the  function  result
       contains the calendar time (the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970).

       The  default  current  reporting timezone is as defined by the TZ environment variable, so
       __pmMktime and mktime(3) will initially produce similar conversions.

       Use pmNewZone(3), pmNewContextZone(3) or pmUseZone(3) to establish a new current reporting
       timezone that will effect __pmMktime but not mktime(3).
