# CFTimeZoneCreateWithTimeIntervalFromGMT(_:_:)

Returns a time zone object for the specified time interval offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

```
func CFTimeZoneCreateWithTimeIntervalFromGMT(_ allocator: CFAllocator!, _ ti: CFTimeInterval) -> CFTimeZone!
```

## Parameters

`allocator`

The allocator object to use to allocate memory for the new time zone. Pass `NULL` or kCFAllocatorDefault to use the current default allocator.

`ti`

The offset, from GMT, of the new time zone.

## Return Value

A new time zone whose offset from GMT is given by the interval `ti`. The name of the new time zone is GMT +/- the offset, in hours and minutes. Time zones created with this function never have daylight savings, and the offset is constant no matter what the date. Ownership follows the [The Create Rule](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFMemoryMgmt/Concepts/Ownership.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001148-103029).
