◆ timex_from_uint64()

static timex_t timex_from_uint64 ( const uint64_t timestamp )

inlinestatic

Converts a 64 bit value of microseconds to a timex timestamp.

Parameters

[in] timestamp The timestamp to convert.

Returns: a timex representation of an uint64 timestamp.

Definition at line 138 of file timex.h.

◆ timex_isnormalized()

static int timex_isnormalized ( const timex_t * time )

inlinestatic

Tests a timex timestamp for normalization.

Parameters

[in] time Pointer to the timestamp to check

Returns: true for a normalized timex_t; false otherwise

Definition at line 114 of file timex.h.

◆ timex_normalize()

static void timex_normalize ( timex_t * time )

inlinestatic

Corrects timex structure so that microseconds < 1000000.

Parameters

[in,out] time Pointer to the timestamp to normalize

Definition at line 100 of file timex.h.

◆ timex_set()

Subtracts two timestamps.

Parameters

[in]	a	The minuend
[in]	b	The subtrahend

◆ timex_to_str()

const char * timex_to_str	(	timex_t	t,

◆ tm_is_leap_year()

int tm_is_leap_year ( unsigned year )

Tells if a given year is a leap year in the Gregorian calendar.

Parameters

[in] year The year. Probably should be ≥ 1582, but needs to be ≥ 1.

◆ tm_is_valid_date()

int tm_is_valid_date	(	int	year,
		int	mon,
		int	mday )

Tests if a date is valid.

Dates before 1582-10-15 are invalid.

Parameters

[in]	year	The year.
[in]	mon	The month.
[in]	mday	The day in the month.

Returns: 0 if the date is invalid.

◆ tm_is_valid_time()

int tm_is_valid_time	(	int	hour,
		int	min,
		int	sec )

Shallow test if a time is valid.

This function accepts leap seconds at any given time, because the timezone is unknown.

Parameters

[in]	hour	The hour.
[in]	min	The minutes.
[in]	sec	The seconds.

Returns: 0 if the time is invalid.
