[PATCH] gmtime man page

Subject: [PATCH] gmtime man page

The gmtime man page says it assumes the time at clock represents a local
time, and that it converts it to UTC.  This is not true.  clock is the
standard time_t representation of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00 on
January 1, 1970, UTC, thus it is not a local time and no UTC conversion
occurs.

	* libc/time/gmtime.c: Correct man page; clock is not a
	local time and no conversion occurs.
