C ++ library for handling time zones

Question

I am looking for a simple C ++ library that allows me to convert timezone descriptions, such as "America / New_York", to the GMT offset.

I am looking for a small library to add to an existing project.

Answer 1

Never used it, but I think date acceleration can do this: boost :: date_time - local_time database

Answer 2
