    Converts a binary OpenVMS format time expressing GMT (or the

    Format

      #include <utc.h>

      int utc_mkvmsgmtime(*utc, *timadr)

         utc_t *utc;
         const long *timadr;

1  –  Parameters

    Input

 *timadr

    Binary OpenVMS format time representing GMT or the UTC
    equivalent.

    Output

 *utc

    Binary timestamp.

2  –  Description

    The Make VMS Greenwich Mean Time routine converts an OpenVMS
    format binary time representing GMT to a binary timestamp with
    the equivalent UTC value. Since the input and output values are
    based on different time standards, any input representing a value
    after A.D. 30,000 returns an error.

3  –  Returns

     0   Indicates that the routine executed successfully.
    -1   Indicates an invalid time argument or invalid results.

4  –  Example

    See the sample program for the vmsgmtime routine.
