All,
I may have found a bug in the Cygwin version of gawk or maybe I'm missing
something. As the information below depicts the GNU date '%z' format is
working but the '%z' format under gawk's strftime function is not reporting the
correct offset from UTC for me. I've tested this on Linux and gawk is
reporting correctly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
$ cat /proc/version
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.24(0.156/4/2) 2007-01-31 10:57
$ cygcheck -c tzcode
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
tzcode 2008h-1 OK
$ date --version
date (GNU coreutils) 6.10
$ gawk --version
GNU Awk 3.1.6
$ export TZ=America/Chicago
$ date --date='8 Mar 2009' +'%c %z %Z'
Sun Mar 8 00:00:00 2009 -0600 CST
$ date --date='9 Mar 2009' +'%c %z %Z'
Mon Mar 9 00:00:00 2009 -0500 CDT
$ gawk 'BEGIN{print strftime("%c %z %Z",mktime("2009 3 8 0 0 0"))}'
Sun Mar 8 00:00:00 2009 +0000 CST
$ gawk 'BEGIN{print strftime("%c %z %Z",mktime("2009 3 9 0 0 0"))}'
Mon Mar 9 00:00:00 2009 +0000 CDT
Thanks,
Richard Narum
