The tzcode distribution includes a (non-standard and undocumented) offtime() function but no offtime_r() function, which seems like an oversight.
The effect of offtime_r can be implemented by calling localtime_rz with a fixed-offset zone. As commentary says offtime "may well disappear in future releases of the time conversion package", it might be better for offtime to vanish than to multiply. For now I installed the attached patch to add more commentary about the situation.
