Related to Setting timezone globally in golang
In zoneinfo.go
you can find the following
// Local represents the system's local time zone.
var Local *Location = &localLoc
wich suggest that you have a global modifiable Local, and you can set it. By setting it, should it have effect to timezones?
Setting time.Local
does have an effect on the time
local time zone.
For example,
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
now := time.Now().Round(0)
fmt.Println(now, time.Local)
loc, err := time.LoadLocation("America/Atka")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
time.Local = loc
now = time.Now().Round(0)
fmt.Println(now, time.Local)
}
Output:
2019-07-16 10:45:41.263418395 -0400 EDT Local
2019-07-16 05:45:41.263530699 -0900 HDT America/Atka
