time_fields_to_filetime

TIME_FIELDS_FROM_FILETIME(3)				       http://www.synce.org/				      TIME_FIELDS_FROM_FILETIME(3)

NAME

       time_fields_from_filetime - convert between FILETIME and TIME_FIELDS

SYNOPSIS

       #include <synce.h>

       void time_fields_from_filetime(const FILETIME *filetime, TIME_FIELDS *timeFields);

       bool time_fields_to_filetime(const TIME_FIELDS *timeFields, const FILETIME *filetime);

DESCRIPTION

       The  time_fields_from_filetime()  function  converts  a FILETIME value into the existing broken down TIME_FIELDS struct pointed to by time-
       Fields.	time_fields_to_filetime() does the reverse.

	      typedef struct _TIME_FIELDS {
		  CSHORT Year;		/* Specifies a value from 1601 on. */
		  CSHORT Month; 	/* Specifies a value from 1 to 12. */
		  CSHORT Day;		/* Specifies a value from 1 to 31. */
		  CSHORT Hour;		/* Specifies a value from 0 to 23. */
		  CSHORT Minute;	/* Specifies a value from 0 to 59. */
		  CSHORT Second;	/* Specifies a value from 0 to 59. */
		  CSHORT Milliseconds;	/* Specifies a value from 0 to 999. */
		  CSHORT Weekday;	/* Specifies a value from 0 to 6 (Sunday to Saturday). */
	      } TIME_FIELDS;

RETURN VALUE

       The time_fields_to_filetime() function returns FALSE on encountering an invalid value, or TRUE if successful.
