+.TH PMMKTIME 3 "PCP" "Performance Co-Pilot"
+.SH NAME
+\f3__pmMktime\f1 \- convert a \fBtm\fR structure to a calendar time
+.SH "C SYNOPSIS"
+.ft 3
+#include <time.h>

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B __pmMktime
+is very similar to
+.BR mktime (3),
+except the timezone used is the current ``reporting timezone'' (rather than the
+default
+.B TZ
+environment variable scheme).
+.PP
+Like
+.BR mktime (3)
+the time to be converted is passed via
+.IR timeptr ,
+and
+the function result
+contains the calendar time (the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC,
+January 1, 1970).
+.PP
+The default current reporting timezone is as defined by the
+.B TZ
+environment variable, so
+.B __pmMktime
+and
+.BR mktime (3)
+will initially produce similar conversions.
+.PP
+Use
+.BR pmNewZone (3),
+.BR pmNewContextZone (3)
+or
+.BR pmUseZone (3)
+to establish a new current reporting timezone that will effect
+.B __pmMktime
+but not
+.BR mktime (3).
