       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  releases, and they may not work, or may
       provide different semantics at some point in the future.

DESCRIPTION         top

       __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 sec‐
       onds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970).

       The default current reporting timezone is as defined by the TZ en‐
       vironment 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).
