NAME         top

       function::tz_ctime - Convert seconds since epoch into human
       readable date/time string, with local time zone

SYNOPSIS         top

           tz_ctime(epochsecs:)

ARGUMENTS         top

       epochsecs
           number of seconds since epoch (as returned by gettimeofday_s)

DESCRIPTION         top

       Takes an argument of seconds since the epoch as returned by
       gettimeofday_s. Returns a string of the same form as ctime, but
       offsets the epoch time for the local time zone, and appends the

       zone information is passed by staprun at script startup only.
