| ## utc_mkbintime(3dts) Converts a timespec structure to a binary timestamp Synopsis #include <dce/utc.h> int utc_mkbintime( utc_t *utc, timespec_t *timesp, timespec_t *inaccsp, long tdf); Parameters Input timesp A timespec structure that expresses time since 1970-01-01:00:00:00.0+0:00I0. inaccsp A timespec structure that expresses inaccuracy. If a null pointer is passed, or if tv_sec is set to a value of 1, the inaccuracy is considered to be unspecified. tdf TDF component of the binary timestamp. Output utc Resulting binary timestamp. Description The utc_mkbintime( ) routine converts a timespec structure time to a binary timestamp. The TDF input is used as the TDF of the binary timestamp. Return Values ~0 Indicates that the routine executed successfully. 1 Indicates an invalid time argument or invalid results. Examples The following example obtains the current time from time(3), converts it to a binary timestamp with an inaccuracy of 5.2 seconds, and specifies GMT. timespec_t ttime, tinacc; utc_t utc; /* Obtain the current time (without the inaccuracy)... */ ttime.tv_sec = time((time_t *)0); ttime.tv_nsec = 0; /* Specify the inaccuracy... */ tinacc.tv_sec = 5; tinacc.tv_nsec = 200000000; /* Convert to a binary timestamp... */ utc_mkbintime(&utc, /* Out: Binary timestamp */ &ttime, /* In: Current time in timespec */ &tinacc, /* In: 5.2 seconds in timespec */ 0); /* In: TDF of GMT */ Related Information Functions: utc_bintime(3dts) utc_mkbinreltime(3dts) ##
