OK, so I'm making some progress on my library. I'm attempting to read
the timezone information for America/Kentucky/Louisville.
When I run through the values for transition times, I get 177 values
such as follows:
2661690496, 2693140096, 2759063296, ...
The docs say these transition times are in values returned by the c time
function, which returns seconds since midnight, 1/1/1970. If that is
the case, then the three values above convert to:
May 6, 2054 at 2:28:16 PM
May 5, 2055 at 2:28:16 PM
June 6, 2057 at 2:28:16 PM
These are nowhere near the DST conversion dates for these years and are
moving forward. This appears incorrect. Can someone show me what I'm
doing wrong?
Thanks.
