How to specify timezone in linux using C
I was trying to set the timezone of my system, a开发者_StackOverflownd was trying to use settimeofday(), which takes a timezone struct as an argument, but just read that that struct is now obsolete (http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl2_settimeofday.htm) How could I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ugh, I feel really stupid.
I created a link.c and compiled it:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
printf("This is the link \n");
}
Created a target.c, and compiled it:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
printf("This is the target \n");
}
and then tried the symlink function in a test program:
#include <unistd.h>
void main()
{
int garbage = symlink("/home/imandhan/pythonTests/link", "/home/imandhan/pythonTests/target");
printf(garbage);
}
This gives me a segmentation fault for some reason. Am I doing something wrong?
See tzset(3)
for setting timezone for an application.
For the whole system - symlink /etc/localtime
to appropriate file under /usr/share/zoneinfo/
.
