ReReadLocalTime

Re-Read the local time files.

Declaration

Source position: unix.pp line 96

  procedure ReReadLocalTime;

Description

ReReadLocalTime can be used to re-initialize the local timezone information.

To speed up conversion of epoch (UTC) time to local time, the timezone information is loaded only once, at program startup. Calling this routine re-reads the timezone information using current timezone settings.

The EpochToLocal]() function uses timezone information to transform epoch time to local time. This timezone information does not change while the application is running: in particular, on DST transitions or when the timezone files change, the time returned by local time routines will be wrong.
