_mkgmtime, _mkgmtime32, _mkgmtime64

Converts a UTC time represented by a struct tm to a UTC time represented by a time_t type.

Syntax

time_t _mkgmtime(
   struct tm* timeptr
);
__time32_t _mkgmtime32(
   struct tm* timeptr
);
__time64_t _mkgmtime64(
   struct tm* timeptr
);

Parameters

timeptr
A pointer to the UTC time as a struct tm to convert.

Return value

A quantity of type __time32_t or __time64_t representing the number of seconds elapsed since midnight, January 1, 1970, in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). If the date is out of range (see the Remarks section) or the input can't be interpreted as a valid time, the return value is -1.

Remarks

The _mkgmtime32 and _mkgmtime64 functions convert a UTC time to a __time32_t or __time64_t type representing the time in UTC. To convert a local time to UTC time, use mktime, _mktime32, and _mktime64 instead.

_mkgmtime is an inline function that evaluates to _mkgmtime64, and time_t is equivalent to __time64_t. If you need to force the compiler to interpret time_t as the old 32-bit time_t, you can define _USE_32BIT_TIME_T. We don't recommend it, because your application might fail after January 18, 2038, the maximum range of a 32-bit time_t. It's not allowed at all on 64-bit platforms.

The time structure passed in is changed as follows, in the same way as it's changed by the _mktime functions: the tm_wday and tm_yday fields are set to new values based on the values of tm_mday and tm_year. Because the time is assumed to be UTC, the tm_isdst field is ignored.

The range of the _mkgmtime32 function is from midnight, January 1, 1970, UTC to 23:59:59 January 18, 2038, UTC. The range of _mkgmtime64 is from midnight, January 1, 1970, UTC to 23:59:59, December 31, 3000, UTC. An out-of-range date results in a return value of -1. The range of _mkgmtime depends on whether _USE_32BIT_TIME_T is defined. When it's not defined, which is the default, the range is the same as _mkgmtime64. Otherwise, the range is limited to the 32-bit range of _mkgmtime32.

Both gmtime and localtime use a common static buffer for the conversion. If you supply this buffer to _mkgmtime, the previous contents are destroyed.

Examples

// crt_mkgmtime.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
    struct tm t1, t2;
    time_t now, mytime, gmtime;
    char buff[30];

    time( & now );

    _localtime64_s( &t1, &now );
    _gmtime64_s( &t2, &now );

    mytime = mktime(&t1);
    gmtime = _mkgmtime(&t2);

    printf("Seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970\n");
    printf("My time: %I64d\nGM time (UTC): %I64d\n\n", mytime, gmtime);

    /* Use asctime_s to display these times. */

    _localtime64_s( &t1, &mytime );
    asctime_s( buff, sizeof(buff), &t1 );
    printf( "Local Time: %s\n", buff );

    _gmtime64_s( &t2, &gmtime );
    asctime_s( buff, sizeof(buff), &t2 );
    printf( "Greenwich Mean Time: %s\n", buff );

}
Seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970
My time: 1171588492
GM time (UTC): 1171588492

Local Time: Thu Feb 15 17:14:52 2007

Greenwich Mean Time: Fri Feb 16 01:14:52 2007

The following example shows how the incomplete structure is filled out by _mkgmtime. It computes values for both the day of the week and of the year.

// crt_mkgmtime2.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <memory.h>

int main()
{
    struct tm t1, t2;
    time_t gmtime;
    char buff[30];

    memset(&t1, 0, sizeof(struct tm));
    memset(&t2, 0, sizeof(struct tm));

    t1.tm_mon = 1;
    t1.tm_isdst = 0;
    t1.tm_year = 103;
    t1.tm_mday = 12;

    // The day of the week and year will be incorrect in the output here.
    asctime_s( buff, sizeof(buff), &t1);
    printf("Before calling _mkgmtime, t1 = %s t.tm_yday = %d\n",
            buff, t1.tm_yday );

    gmtime = _mkgmtime(&t1);

    // The correct day of the week and year were determined.
    asctime_s( buff, sizeof(buff), &t1);
    printf("After calling _mkgmtime, t1 = %s t.tm_yday = %d\n",
            buff, t1.tm_yday );

}
Before calling _mkgmtime, t1 = Sun Feb 12 00:00:00 2003
t.tm_yday = 0
After calling _mkgmtime, t1 = Wed Feb 12 00:00:00 2003
t.tm_yday = 42
