.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The functions
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR timelocal ()
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
and
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR timegm ()
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
are the inverses of
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR localtime (3)
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
and
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR gmtime (3).
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
Both functions take a broken-down time and convert it to calendar time
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
(seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000, UTC).
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The difference between the two functions is that
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR timelocal ()
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
takes the local timezone into account when doing the conversion, while
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR timegm ()
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
takes the input value to be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
On success,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
these functions return the calendar time (seconds since the Epoch),
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
expressed as a value of type
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.IR time_t .
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
On error, they return the value
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.IR "(time_t)\ -1"
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
and set
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.I errno
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
to indicate the cause of the error.

7cfc04 |
The

|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR timelocal ()
|
