gmtime

Converts the system time into Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

struct tm *gmtime( const time_t *calTime);

Under Linux, gmtime is not thread-safe. Use gmtime_r, instead. Refer to your platform-specific documentation for details.

Return Values

A pointer to a tm structure.

Example

The following example gets the time as a time_t structure and converts it, using gmtime, to a tm structure in Coordinated Universal Time.

    #include <time.h>  

    time_t t;
    struct tm * gmt;
    time(&t);
    gmt = (struct tm *)gmtime(&t);
    lr_message ("Coordinated universal time:\t\t%s", asctime(gmt));

Example: Output: 
Coordinated universal time:        Sun Apr 21 15:31:06 2002
