Modern Chrono TimeZoneInfo LocalOffset

TimeZoneInfo.LocalOffset

Returns the local zone's UTC offset in minutes right now.

Syntax

TimeZoneInfo.LocalOffset( ) as int16

Notes

• Right for the current time and wrong for any other: for a stored timestamp use LocalOffsetAt, which applies the rule in force at that moment.
• Minutes east of UTC: a zone behind UTC gives a negative number.

Examples

#import "std/chrono"
using chrono

print TimeZoneInfo.LocalOffset( ) = TimeZoneInfo.LocalOffsetAt( WallClock.UtcNow( ) )   '' -1 (true)

'' The offset WallClock.Now stamps on its value
print WallClock.Now( ).OffsetMinutes = TimeZoneInfo.LocalOffset( )                     '' -1 (true)
