+.TH PMLOCALTIME 3 "PCP" "Performance Co-Pilot"
+.SH NAME
+\f3pmLocaltime\f1 \- convert the date and time for a reporting timezone
+.SH "C SYNOPSIS"
+.ft 3
+#include <time.h>
+.br
+#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
+.sp
+struct tm *pmLocaltime(const time_t *\fIclock\fP, struct tm *\fIresult\fP);
+.sp
+cc ... \-lpcp
+.ft 1
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B pmLocaltime
+is very similar to
+.BR localtime (3),
+except the timezone used is the current ``reporting timezone'' (rather than the
+default
+.B TZ
+environment variable scheme), and the result is returned into a
+caller-declared buffer (rather than a private buffer).
+.PP
+Like
+.BR localtime (3)
+the time to be converted is passed via
+.IR clock ,
+and 
+the
+.I result 
+contains the components broken out in the elements of the
+.I tm
+struct.
+.PP
+.B pmLocaltime
+returns
+.I result
+as the value of the function.
+.PP
+The default current reporting timezone is as defined by the
+.B TZ
+environment variable, so
+.B pmLocaltime
+and
+.BR localtime (3)
+will initially produce a similar encoding of the date and time.
+.PP
+Use
+.BR pmNewZone (3),
+.BR pmNewContextZone (3)
+or
+.BR pmUseZone (3)
+to establish a new current reporting timezone that will affect
+.B pmLocaltime
+but not
+.BR localtime (3).
