    time zone name

    Hi all,
    In linux where can I get the name(not the abbreviation) of the current time zone. Extern variable like tzname is also giving abbreviated names like IST. The tm structure is also having the same. I want something like Asia/Calcutta.

    Can someone let me know about the same.
