_get_dstbias

Retrieves the daylight saving time offset in seconds.

error_t _get_dstbias(  
    int* seconds 
);

Parameters

  • seconds
    The offset in seconds of daylight saving time.

Return Value

Zero if successful or an errno value if an error occurs.

Remarks

The _get_dstbias function retrieves the number of seconds in daylight saving time as an integer. If daylight saving time is in effect, the default offset is 3600 seconds, which is the number of seconds in one hour (though a few regions do observe a two-hour offset).

If seconds is NULL, the invalid parameter handler is invoked as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, this function sets errno to EINVAL and returns EINVAL.
