Overview

Palms use two different representations of time in different contexts. The first, Palm-style time_t, is an integer indicating the number of seconds elapsed since Jan. 1, 1904 (the Palm epoch).

The second representation is a structure listing the individual time fields, similar to a struct tm :

struct dlp_time
{
	uword year;
	ubyte month;
	ubyte day;
	ubyte hour;
	ubyte minute;
	ubyte second;
};

(Note that year is the four-digit year number, e.g., 2001.)

time_dlp2palmtime takes a dlp_time and converts it to a Palm-style time_t.

time_dlp2time_t takes a dlp_time and converts it to a Unix-style time_t.

time_palmtime2dlp takes a Palm-style time_t and converts it to a dlp_time structure, writing the results to dlpt.

time_time_t2dlp takes a Unix-style time_t and converts it to a dlp_time structure, writing the results to dlpt.

Return value

time_dlp2palmtime returns a Palm-style time_t.

time_dlp2time_t returns a Unix-style time_t.
