Some time-handling patches from Paul Eggert: * editfns.c (Fcurrent_time_zone): Take an optional argument specifying what (absolute) time should be used to determine the current time zone. Yield just offset and name of time zone, including DST correction. Yield time zone offset in seconds, not minutes. (lisp_time_argument, difftm): New functions. (Fcurrent_time_string): Use lisp_time_argument. * systime.h (EMACS_CURRENT_TIME_ZONE, EMACS_GET_TZ_OFFSET, EMACS_GET_TZ_NAMES): Remove. * config.h.in: Add HAVE_TM_ZONE.

;;; Commentary:

;; This mode provides a hook which is, by default, attached to various
;; putatively dangerous commands in a (probably futile) attempt to
;; prevent lusers from shooting themselves in the feet.

;;; Code:

;; This function is called (by autoloading)
;; to handle any disabled command.
;; The command is found in this-command
;; and the keys are returned by (this-command-keys).
