# ReReadLocalTime

Re-Read the local time files.

## Declaration

Source position: unix.pp line 73

`procedure ReReadLocalTime;`

## Description

ReReadLocalTime can be used to re-initialize the local timezone information.

To speed up conversion of epoch (UTC) time to local time, the timezone information is loaded only once, at program startup. Calling this routine re-reads the timezone information using current timezone settings.

The EpochToLocal function uses timezone information to transform epoch time to local time. This timezone information does not change while the application is running: in particular, on DST transitions or when the timezone files change, the time returned by local time routines will be wrong.
