Creates a #GTimeZone corresponding to UTC.

This is equivalent to calling g_time_zone_new() with a value like "Z", "UTC", "+00", etc.

You should release the return value by calling g_time_zone_unref() when you are done with it.

⚠️ Deprecated ⚠️

This is deprecated since version 2.68.

Use g_time_zone_new_identifier() instead, as it provides error reporting. Change your code to handle a potentially %NULL return value.

A version of g_time_zone_new_identifier() which returns the UTC time zone if @identifier could not be parsed or loaded.

If you need to check whether @identifier was loaded successfully, use g_time_zone_new_identifier().

Parameters

Creates a #GTimeZone corresponding to the given constant offset from UTC, in seconds.

This is equivalent to calling g_time_zone_new() with a string in the form [+|-]hh[:mm[:ss]].

It is possible for this function to fail if @seconds is too big (greater than 24 hours), in which case this function will return the UTC timezone for backwards compatibility. To detect failures like this, use g_time_zone_new_identifier() directly.

Parameters
