<para>
<function>date_sunset</function> returns the sunset time for a given day
(specified as a <parameter>timestamp</parameter>) and location. The
<parameter>latitude</parameter>, <parameter>longitude</parameter> and
<parameter>zenith</parameter> parameters default to the
<literal>date.default_latitude</literal>,
<literal>date.default_longitude</literal> and
<literal>date.sunset_zenith</literal> configuration options,
respectively.
</para>
<para>
The <parameter>latitude</parameter> defaults to North. So, if you want to
specify a South value, you must pass a negative value. The same note
applies to <parameter>longitude</parameter>, which defaults to East.
</para>
<para>
The <parameter>gmt_offset</parameter> parameter is specified in hours.
