<div dir="ltr">I need to perform time calculations based on arbitrary (user-supplied) timezones and I haven't found anything in Erlang/OTP that lets me determine the offset (in minutes or seconds) that a timezone has against UTC. The calendar module only supports converting times from UTC into the local timezone and the other way around, but what if what I want is to convert a time to another timezone that is not my local one?<br>
<br>I'd prefer a portable solution, but even if there is an easy way to access the Olson/zoneinfo tz database on Linux that would be acceptable.<br><br>Thanks.<br><br></div>
