PMNEWZONE(3)             Library Functions Manual            PMNEWZONE(3)
       pmNewZone - establish a reporting timezone
       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
       int pmNewZone(const char *tz);
       cc ... -lpcp
       The  current  reporting  timezone  affects  the  timezone  used by
       pmCtime(3) and pmLocaltime(3).
       The argument tz defines a timezone string, in the format described
       for the TZ environment variable, see environ(7).
       pmNewZone sets the current reporting timezone, and returns a value
       that may be used in a subsequent call to pmUseZone(3)  to  restore
       this reporting timezone.
       A  return value less than zero indicates a fatal error from a sys‐
       tem call, most likely malloc(3).
