How do i get the current time of a different time zone? Example, i need to know the current time in Singapore where as my system is set to PT time.
GMT is the way to go. (I'm speaking at somebody in the US, so it isn't a matter of it being my time zone.)

You're going to have to provide quite a bit more context if you want a more specific answer. What's your operating system? Platform? Library set?

A:
Use UTC (GMT) as much as possible.
If you need to (for example) print a report that's going to another time zone, use something like SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime() to localise it.

A:
One implementation would be to use time to get the current time in UTC and then manipulate the TZ environment variable to your destination timezone. Then use localtime_r to convert to that timezone's local time.
