I would suggest that the HW clock is 7 minutes off of GMT
<snip>
In accordance with an earlier thread I am setting _TZ to 'EST5EDT'
rather
than the configured null so that strftime("%z") works as expected.
I just discovered that that is throwing my local times off by 7 minutes.
Does that make ANY sense to anyone?
The times in question are coming from the following logic:
tm* tmStruct;
struct timeb timebuffer;
ftime(&timebuffer);
tmStruct = localtime(&timebuffer.time);
I use ftime because I am also using the milliseconds. (I have a exactly
the
same problem with times derived from STCK, so the ftime is not the
problem.)
Initially the times are correct. However, after I issue
int seRes = setenv("_TZ", "EST5EDT", 1);
the times are off by exactly seven minutes. (Result time 7 minutes
later or
greater than actual.)
