        // NAME
        //      tzfile -- timezone information 
        //
        // SYNOPSIS 
        //      #include "/usr/src/lib/libc/stdtime/tzfile.h" 
        //
        // DESCRIPTION 
        //      The time zone information files used by tzset(3) begin with the magic
        //      characters ``TZif'' to identify them as time zone information files, fol-
        //      lowed by sixteen bytes reserved for future use, followed by four four-
        //      byte values written in a ``standard'' byte order (the high-order byte of 
        //      the value is written first).  These values are, in order:
        // 
        //      tzh_ttisgmtcnt  The number of UTC/local indicators stored in the file. 
        //      tzh_ttisstdcnt  The number of standard/wall indicators stored in the
        //                      file. 
        //      tzh_leapcnt     The number of leap seconds for which data is stored in
        //                      the file.
        //      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). 
        //      tzh_charcnt     The number of characters of ``time zone abbreviation 
        //                      strings'' stored in the file.
        // 
        //      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
        //      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: 
        //
        //            struct ttinfo {
        //                    long    tt_gmtoff;
        //                    int     tt_isdst; 
        //                    unsigned int    tt_abbrind;
        //            }; 
        // 
        //      Each structure is written as a four-byte value for tt_gmtoff of type
        //      long, in a standard byte order, followed by a one-byte value for tt_isdst 
        //      and a one-byte value for tt_abbrind.  In each structure, tt_gmtoff gives
        //      the number of seconds to be added to UTC, tt_isdst tells whether tm_isdst
        //      should be set by localtime(3) and tt_abbrind serves as an index into the
        //      array of time zone abbreviation characters that follow the ttinfo struc- 
        //      ture(s) in the file.
        // 
        //      Then there are tzh_leapcnt pairs of four-byte values, written in standard 
        //      byte order; the first value of each pair gives the time (as returned by
        //      time(3)) at which a leap second occurs; the second gives the total number 
        //      of leap seconds to be applied after the given time.  The pairs of values
        //      are sorted in ascending order by time.b
        //
        //      Then there are tzh_ttisstdcnt standard/wall indicators, each stored as a 
        //      one-byte value; they tell whether the transition times associated with
        //      local time types were specified as standard time or wall clock time, and 
        //      are used when a time zone file is used in handling POSIX-style time zone 
        //      environment variables.
        // 
        //      Finally there are tzh_ttisgmtcnt UTC/local indicators, each stored as a
        //      one-byte value; they tell whether the transition times associated with
        //      local time types were specified as UTC or local time, and are used when a
        //      time zone file is used in handling POSIX-style time zone environment 
        //      variables.
        // 
        //      localtime uses the first standard-time ttinfo structure in the file (or 
        //      simply the first ttinfo structure in the absence of a standard-time
        //      structure) if either tzh_timecnt is zero or the time argument is less 
        //      than the first transition time recorded in the file.

        // NAME

        // LIBRARY

        //      time_t
        //      time(time_t *tloc); 
        //
        // DESCRIPTION 
        //      The time() function returns the value of time in seconds since 0 hours, 0 
        //      minutes, 0 seconds, January 1, 1970, Coordinated Universal Time, without
        //      including leap seconds.  If an error occurs, time() returns the value 
        //      (time_t)-1.
        //
        //      The return value is also stored in *tloc, provided that tloc is non-null.
        // 
        // ERRORS
        //      The time() function may fail for any of the reasons described in 
        //      gettimeofday(2). 
        //
        // SEE ALSO 
        //      gettimeofday(2), ctime(3)
        //
        // STANDARDS
        //      The time function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1''). 
        //
        // BUGS 
        //      Neither ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'') nor IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 
        //      (``POSIX.1'') requires time() to set errno on failure; thus, it is impos-
        //      sible for an application to distinguish the valid time value -1 (repre- 
        //      senting the last UTC second of 1969) from the error return value.
        //
        //      Systems conforming to earlier versions of the C and POSIX standards
        //      (including older versions of FreeBSD) did not set *tloc in the error 
        //      case.
        // 
        // HISTORY 
        //      A time() function appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
