$timezone returns the current timezone setting in seconds. Positive is West/Earlier than UTC, negative is East/Later than UTC.
Synopsis
$timezone
Parameters
None
Properties
None
Notes
- $timezone contains the seconds to subtract from UTC to match your computer clock time.
- i.e. $gmt($ctime) == $asctime($calc($ctime + $timezone)), and $asctime($calc(0 + $timezone)) is "Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970" except for people whose $timezone is negative because $asctime does not accept negative time values.
- When you change your computer's timezone, the file date/times change, but mIRC's $ctime does not. $file($mircexe).mtime remains the same regardless of $timezone and $daylight values.
- $timezone changes when $daylight changes, so you'll find $timezone + $daylight remain the same total. In USA Eastern, you'll find that during the winter, $daylight is 18000 and $daylight is 0. In summer during Daylight/Summertime, $daylight drops by 3600 to 14400, and $daylight increases from 0 to 3600.
Example
//echo -a $timezone
