If @code{setlocale} has been called (@pxref{Locales}), month and day
|
||||
names are from the current locale and in the locale character set.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that @samp{%Z} might print the @code{tm:zone} in @var{tm} or it
|
||||
might print just the current zone (@code{tzset} above). A GNU system
|
||||
prints @code{tm:zone}, a strict C99 system like NetBSD prints the
|
||||
current zone. Perhaps in the future Guile will try to get
|
||||
@code{tm:zone} used always.
|
||||
@c
|
||||
@c The issue in the above is not just whether tm_zone exists in
|
||||
@c struct tm, but whether libc feels it should read it. Being a
|
||||
@c non-C99 field, a strict C99 program won't know to set it, quite
|
||||
@c likely leaving garbage there. NetBSD, which has the field,
|
||||
@c therefore takes the view that it mustn't read it. See the PR

|

@c
|

@c Uniformly making tm:zone used on all systems (all those which have
|
||||
@c %Z at all of course) might be nice (either mung TZ and tzset, or
|
||||
@c mung tzname[]). On the other hand it would make us do more than
|
||||
@c C99 says, and we really don't want to get intimate with the gory
|
||||
@c details of libc time funcs, no more than can be helped.
