TIMEGM(3)		   Linux Programmer's Manual		     TIMEGM(3)

NAME
       timegm, timelocal - inverses of gmtime and localtime

SYNOPSIS
       #include <time.h>

       time_t timelocal(struct tm *tm);

       time_t timegm(struct tm *tm);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       timelocal(), timegm():
	   Since glibc 2.19:
	       _DEFAULT_SOURCE
	   Glibc 2.19 and earlier:
	       _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION
       The functions timelocal() and timegm() are the inverses of localtime(3)
       and gmtime(3).  Both functions take a broken-down time and  convert  it
       to  calendar  time (seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000,
       UTC).  The difference between the two  functions	 is  that  timelocal()
       takes  the local timezone into account when doing the conversion, while
       timegm() takes the input value to be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

RETURN VALUE
       On success, these functions return the calendar time (seconds since the
       Epoch), expressed as a value of type time_t.  On error, they return the
       value (time_t) -1 and set errno to indicate the cause of the error.

ERRORS
       EOVERFLOW
	      The result cannot be represented.

CONFORMING TO
       These functions are nonstandard GNU extensions that are also present on
       the BSDs.  Avoid their use.

NOTES
       The timelocal() function is equivalent to the POSIX  standard  function
       mktime(3).  There is no reason to ever use it.
