HELPLIB.HLB  —  DECdts  utc_mkgmtime
    Converts a tm structure that expresses GMT or UTC to a binary
    timestamp.

    Format

      #include <utc.h>

      int utc_mkgmtime(*utc, *timetm, tns, *inacctm, ins)

         utc_t *utc;
         const struct tm *timetm;
         long tns;
         const struct tm *inacctm;
         long ins;

1  –  Parameters

    Input

 timetm

    A tm structure that expresses GMT. On input, tm_wday and tm_yday
    are ignored.

 tns

    Nanoseconds since time component.

 inacctm

    A tm structure that expresses days, hours, minutes, and seconds
    of inaccuracy. If tm_yday is negative, the inaccuracy is
    considered to be infinite. On input, tm_mday, tm_mon, tm_wday,
    tm_isdst, tm_gmtoff, and tm_zone are ignored.

 ins

    Nanoseconds of inaccuracy component.

    Output

 utc

    Resulting binary timestamp.

2  –  Description

    The Make Greenwich Mean Time routine converts a tm structure that
    expresses GMT or UTC to a binary timestamp. Additional inputs
    include nanoseconds since the last second of time and nanoseconds
    of inaccuracy.

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 utc_cmpintervaltime routine.
