I am having trouble retrieving the UTC offset using the gettimeofday
function.
It always return zero, although the QUTCOFFSET is set to +01:00.
Is the timezone value dependent on first seting the timezone using the
settimeofday, or should it be defaulting to the UTC offset?
AFAIK, gettimeofday() does not return the offset at all. It returns
zero if the call completed mormally, or -1 on failure (in which case
errno is set appropriately). It fills out the structure passed to it
(unles that structure is NULL) with the number of seconds and
microseconds since January 1, 1970. It also (on some architectures)
fills out a structure detailing the timezone, specifically the minutes
west of Greenwich. Is this what you are referring to?
