Description

`custom_time_zone_base` public construct/copy/destruct

custom_time_zone_base(const time_zone_names & zone_names, 
                      const time_duration_type & utc_offset, 
                      const dst_adjustment_offsets & dst_shift, 
                      boost::shared_ptr< dst_calc_rule > calc_rule);

```
~custom_time_zone_base();
```

`custom_time_zone_base` public member functions

```
string_type dst_zone_abbrev() const;
```
```
string_type std_zone_abbrev() const;
```
```
string_type dst_zone_name() const;
```
```
string_type std_zone_name() const;
```
```
bool has_dst() const;
```
True if zone uses daylight savings adjustments.

posix_time::ptime dst_local_start_time(gregorian::greg_year y) const;

Local time that DST starts <ndash></ndash> NADT if has_dst is false.

posix_time::ptime dst_local_end_time(gregorian::greg_year y) const;

Local time that DST ends <ndash></ndash> NADT if has_dst is false.

time_duration_type base_utc_offset() const;

Base offset from UTC for zone (eg: -07:30:00)

```
time_duration_type dst_offset() const;
```
Adjustment forward or back made while DST is in effect.
```
string_type to_posix_string() const;
```
Returns a POSIX time_zone string for this object.
