>Environment:
2.2.5-RELEASE and 2.2.6-RELEASE
>Description:
1) /usr/include/tzfile.h does not exist. But tzfile.5 shows:
SYNOPSIS
#include <tzfile.h>
I searched tzfile.h using `find / -name tzfile.h', but I can
not find it.
2) tzh_timecnt is misused for tzh_typecnt. The tzfile.5 shows:
tzh_timecnt The number of ``transition times'' for which data is
stored in the file.
tzh_typecnt The number of ``local time types'' for which data is
stored in the file (must not be zero).
[snip]
The above header is followed by tzh_timecnt four-byte values of type
long, sorted in ascending order. These values are written in ``stan-
dard'' byte order. Each is used as a transition time (as returned by
time(3)) at which the rules for computing local time change. Next come
tzh_timecnt one-byte values of type unsigned char; each one tells which
^^^^^^^^^^^
I think this should be tzh_typecnt.
of the different types of ``local time'' types described in the file is
associated with the same-indexed transition time. These values serve as
indices into an array of ttinfo structures that appears next in the file;
these structures are defined as follows:
>How-To-Repeat:
`man 5 tzfile' on 2.2.5-RELEASE or 2.2.6-RELEASE.
