Allthough most dive computers always use local time and don't support timezones at all, there are a few exceptions. There are two different sources of timezone information: - Some of the newer Uwatec/Scubapro devices use UTC internally and also support a timezone setting. This UTC offset is currently taken into account to obtain the dive date/time, but the UTC offset itself is lost. - Uwatec/Scubapro and Reefnet devices rely on the clock of the host system to synchronize the internal device clock and calculate the dive date/time. The consequence is that the resulting date/time is always in the timezone of the host system. In order to preserve this timezone information, the dc_datetime_t structure is extended with a new "timezone" field, containing the UTC offset in seconds. Devices without timezone support will set the field to the special value DC_TIMEZONE_NONE. The dc_datetime_localtime() and dc_datetime_gmtime() functions will automatically populate the new field with respectively the local timezone offset and zero. The dc_datetime_mktime() function will take into account the new timezone field for the conversion to UTC. The special value DC_TIMEZONE_NONE is interpreted as zero.
