<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<P><SPAN class=595481605-08042008><FONT size=2>I have a GUI interface ,where in
user selects the Area (for ex: Africa) and Zone name(for ex: Cairo).How do i map
this /etc/TZ file,as there will be different Area and
Zone</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=595481605-08042008><FONT size=2>to be set.Is there any functions
in "C' which would solve my issue or any other method ?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><FONT size=2>I found that uClibc uses /etc/TZ to set the time zone it does
not use /etc/localtime nor does it understand the timezone data .so will
changing UCLIBC_TZ_FILE_PATH it to /etc/localtime in uClibc-0.9.29.config file
will solve my issue??</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>how do I map this to /etc/localtime so as to set a valid
timezone.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>The procedure I tried is :</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Cairo
/etc/localtime.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>alternatively I find that executing echo CET-1DST >/etc/TZ
does work.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Please update me on how to solve this issue<SPAN
class=595481605-08042008> in C program ( for ex: Take Africa/Cairo as input
and convert to its respective daylight saveing time as above
) </SPAN></FONT></P>
