| /* This example demonstrates the use of the time zone database and |
| * local time to calculate the number of seconds since the UTC |
| * time_t epoch 1970-01-01 00:00:00. Note that the selected timezone |
| * could be any timezone supported in the time zone database file which |
| * can be modified and updated as needed by the user. |
| * |
| * To solve this problem the following steps are required: |
| * 1) Get a timezone from the tz database for the local time |
| * 2) Construct a local time using the timezone |
| * 3) Construct a posix_time::ptime for the time_t epoch time |
| * 4) Convert the local_time to utc and subtract the epoch time |
