Question about timezone type

[Ralf Habacker]

Hi,
I have found in /usr/include/time.h that timezone is defined as function with a
return value type of char *.  This seems to be incompatible with some unix
implementations like linux and irix which defines timezone as time_t (IRIX) or
long int (linux).

Can anybody tell me the reason for this ?
