Actually, the subject pretty much says it all.
In tzcode2007k (also in 2007h), the code in localtime.c is:
struct tm *
localtime(const time_t *const timep)
{
tzset();
return localsub(timep, 0L, &tm);
}
struct tm *
localtime_r(const time_t *const timep, struct tm *tmp)
{
return localsub(timep, 0L, tmp);
}
I can't immediately see a justification for the asymmetry in the POSIX specification of these functions, but I could be missing something.
