Summary

0000321: ctime needs to be consistent with localtime_r to mention timezone and daylight

Description

(note line numbers are D5.1 of Issue 7)
For the revision, the text describing localtime_r() was adjusted to mention
timezone and daylight, where formerly only tzname was mentioned (lines 40835
to 40836):

[[
Unlike localtime(), the localtime_r() function is not required to set tzname.
If localtime_r() does not set tzname, it shall not set daylight and shall not
set timezone.
]]

However, no corresponding change was made for the specification of ctime_r(),
where line 24090 reads just:

[[
Unlike ctime(), the thread-safe version ctime_r() is not required to set tzname.
]]

For consistency, the ctime_r() spec should mirror the localtime_r() spec.

Desired Action

Replace line 24090 by:

[[
Unlike ctime(), the ctime_r() function is not required to set tzname. If
ctime_r() does not set tzname, it shall not set daylight and shall not set
timezone.
]]
