TIME LIBRARY
The Time Library contains functions and type definitions for time calculations in the UNIX time for-
mat which counts the number of seconds since the "epoch". This is very convenient for programs
that work with time intervals: the difference between two UNIX time values is a real-time differ-
ence measured in seconds.

What is the epoch?
Originally it was defined as the beginning of 1970 GMT. ( January 1, 1970 Julian day ) GMT,
Greenwich Mean Time, is a traditional term for the time zone in England.

The TimeStruct type is a structure type suitable for time and date storage.

Prototype
sub function Time_dateToEpoch(dim byref ts as TimeStruct) as
longint
longint
Returns
Number of seconds since January 1, 1970 0h00mn00s.
Description
This function returns the UNIX time : number of seconds since January 1, 1970
0h00mn00s.
0h00mn00s.
Parameters :
-
ts:
time and date value for calculating UNIX time.
Requires
Nothing.
Example
dim ts1 as TimeStruct
Epoch
as longint
...
' what is the epoch of the date in ts ?
epoch = Time_dateToEpoch(ts1)
' what is the epoch of the date in ts ?
epoch = Time_dateToEpoch(ts1)
