Shouldn't there be some indication in errno that no conversion
was found [ by settz -mod ]? Otherwise, how is one's code supposed to know
that the string passed to settz() was valid and settz() couldn't find a
conversion? Both return -1!
[ Maybe EINVAL? -mod ]

^^^^^^^^^^^
I think that this should be 'ctime', as that is the functionality
desribed by the next two lines:
>by timer to local time in the form of a string. It is equivalent to
> asctime(localtime(timer))
Otherwise, the proposal looks good to me!
