[tz] Adapting localtime.c

[Carsten Larsen]

Hello list

I am trying to adapt the tz code to a local system without any timezone 
database (AmigaOS). I got the code up and running and everything seems 
to work as intended. But one thing about the code puzzles me.

I need to implement "time_t time(time_t *p)" which is the very last part 
of localtime.c. Should this code return time as local time or as GMT 
time ? Because I cannot get the time calculations to work properly.

I use tzsetwall() to guess the timezone from the systems locale zone 
information (GMT+1, etc) and tzset() to load timezone from the TZ 
environment variable. Should "time_t time(time_t *p)" try to compensate 
if lclptr is set, or should it always just return the plain system time?

I hope someone knows the answer and also thank you for any 
clarifications on this issue.


Kind regards
Carsten Larsen
