[tz] Reading binary files

[Thom Hehl]

That doesn’t have the timezone database built in, does it?

if you don't know what you're doing, you're probably better served by icu4c. they have APIs similar to the Java ones, but for C and C++.

 

(i assume you don't want Java because if you did, you could just use the built-in stuff.)

OK, I give up. I’ve tried looking at the source code and it’s hopeless.

 

Can someone please explain to me how to read the binary files and turn it into timezone information?

 

All I need to do is write  a function that will take a UTC date and convert it into a timezone with a name that I specify and convert it back again. (I understand there are precision issues with the last one.)

 

The code is not commented and I can find no documents.

 

Please, I beg you, help me.
