NAME

       __pmMktime - convert a tm structure to a calendar time

C SYNOPSIS

       #include <time.h>
       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
       #include <pcp/impl.h>

       time_t __pmMktime(struct tm *timeptr);

       cc ... -lpcp

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).
