OFFTIME(3) BSD Library Functions Manual OFFTIME(3)NAME
offtime, timeoff, timegm, timelocal -- convert date and time
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h>
struct tm *
offtime(const time_t * clock, long int offset);
struct tm *
offtime_r(const time_t * clock, long int offset, struct tm *ret);
time_t
timeoff(struct tm * tm, long int offset);
time_t
timegm(struct tm * tm);
time_t
timelocal(struct tm * tm);
DESCRIPTION
These functions are inspired by C standard interfaces named similarly.
offtime() converts the calendar time clock, offset by offset seconds, into broken-down time, expressed as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
offtime_r() is similar to offtime() but it places the returned struct tm * in the user supplied ret argument.
timeoff() converts the broken-down time tm, expressed as UTC, offset by offset seconds, into a calendar time value.
timegm() converts the broken-down time tm into a calendar time value, effectively being the inverse of gmtime(3). It is equivalent to the C
standard function mktime(3) operating in UTC.
timelocal() converts the broken down time tm, expressed as local time, into a calendar time value. It is equivalent to the C standard func-
tion mktime(3), and is provided for symmetry only.

TIMEGM(3) Linux Programmer's Manual TIMEGM(3)NAME
timegm, timelocal - inverses of gmtime and localtime
SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h>
time_t timelocal(struct tm *tm);
time_t timegm(struct tm *tm);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
timelocal(), timegm():
Since glibc 2.19:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE
Glibc 2.19 and earlier:
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The functions timelocal() and timegm() are the inverses of localtime(3) and gmtime(3). Both functions take a broken-down time and convert
it to calendar time (seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000, UTC). The difference between the two functions is that timelo-
cal() takes the local timezone into account when doing the conversion, while timegm() takes the input value to be Coordinated Universal
Time (UTC).
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the calendar time (seconds since the Epoch), expressed as a value of type time_t. On error, they return
the value (time_t) -1 and set errno to indicate the cause of the error.
ERRORS
EOVERFLOW
The result cannot be represented.
ATTRIBUTES

CONFORMING TO
These functions are nonstandard GNU extensions that are also present on the BSDs. Avoid their use.
NOTES
The timelocal() function is equivalent to the POSIX standard function mktime(3). There is no reason to ever use it.

Hi all,
I am trying to create a file which has one or more ranges based on a file containing a long list. The problem is that the file which has this list is not continuous and is broken in many places. I will try to illustrate by an example:

I have a plain test file with a delimeter ''. In this file some lines are broken into two. The first part of these broken line will have 6 columns and the second part will have 4. These broken lines will be consicutive.

Hi all ,
I need to know how to convert a time stamp entered by the user to be converted to GMT/UTC(epoch time) using mktime() and gmtime()
for exapample the input will be put in the form
ptm.tm_sec = 0;
ptm.tm_min = 59;
ptm.tm_hour = 11;
ptm.tm_mday = 20;... (2 Replies)
