<h2>Qp0zCvtToMITime()-Convert Timeval Structure to _MI_Time</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 60%;">
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax:<br>
<pre>
#include &lt;qp0z1170.h&gt;
int Qp0zCvtToMITime (_MI_Time <strong>to</strong>,
const struct timeval *<strong>from</strong>,
int <strong>option</strong>);
</pre>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Program Name: QP0ZCPA<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>

<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Threadsafe: Yes<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
</div>
<br>
<p>The <strong>Qp0zCvtToMITime()</strong> function converts a UNIX-type
timestamp (or a timestamp offset), represented by a timeval structure, to a
corresponding _MI_Time data type. The job's time zone offset from UTC and epoch-1970
are optionally taken into account by this conversion. Only timestamps or
timestamp offsets in the following ranges can be converted:</p>
<ul>
<li>Timestamps that are later than or equal to 1 January 1970, 00:00:00 UTC
(epoch-1970) and less than 19 January 2038, 03:14:08 UTC.</li>
<li>Timestamp offsets that are greater than or equal to 0 and less than 2,147,483,648
seconds.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This function uses a header (include) file from the
library QSYSINC, which is optionally installable. Make sure QSYSINC is
installed on your system before using this function. See <a href="unix13.htm">
Header Files for UNIX-Type Functions</a>) for the file and member name of each
header file.<br>
</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>to</strong></dt>
<dd>(Output) The _MI_Time data type to contain the converted timestamp (or
timestamp offset).<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>from</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The address of the timeval structure to be converted.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>option</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The conversion option.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<p>The <strong>option</strong> parameter must be one of the following
constants:</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>QP0Z_CVTTIME_TO_OFFSET</strong></dt>
<dd>Do the conversion as a timestamp offset, not factoring in the UTC offset
from the current time zone of the job or epoch-1970.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>QP0Z_CVTTIME_TO_TIMESTAMP</strong></dt>
<dd>Do the conversion as a timestamp, factoring in the UTC offset from
the current time zone of the job and epoch-1970.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>QP0Z_CVTTIME_FACTOR_EPOCH_ONLY</strong></dt>
<dd>Do the conversion as a timestamp, but factor in epoch-1970 only.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>QP0Z_CVTTIME_FACTOR_UTCOFFSET_ONLY</strong></dt>
<dd>Do the conversion as a timestamp, but factor in the UTC offset from the
current time zone of the job only.</dd>
</dl>

<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>Qp0zCvtToMITime()</strong> is not successful, <em>errno</em>
usually indicates one of the following errors. Under some conditions, <em>
errno</em> could indicate an error other than those listed here.</p>
<dl>
<dt><em>[EINVAL]</em></dt>
<dd>The value specified for the argument is not correct.
<p>A function was passed incorrect argument values, or an operation was
attempted on an object and the operation specified is not supported for that
type of object.</p>
<p>An argument value is not valid, out of range, or NULL.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EFAULT]</em></dt>
<dd>The address used for an argument is not correct.
<p>In attempting to use an argument in a call, the system detected an address
that is not valid.</p>
<p>While attempting to access a parameter passed to this function, the system
detected an address that is not valid.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[ERANGE]</em></dt>
<dd>A range error occurred.
<p>The value of an argument is too small, or a result too large.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EUNKNOWN]</em></dt>
<dd>Unknown system state.
<p>The operation failed because of an unknown system state. See any messages in
the job log and correct any errors that are indicated, then retry the
operation.</p>
</dd>

<h3>Error Messages</h3>
<p>None.</p>

<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<ol type="1">
<li><strong>Qp0zCvtToMITime()</strong>, when called with <strong>
option</strong> equal to QP0Z_CVTTIME_TO_OFFSET, will convert the number of
seconds and microseconds given in the <strong>from</strong> parameter to an
equivalent machine timestamp offset, similar to what the mitime() API
does.</li>
<li><strong>Qp0zCvtToMITime()</strong>, when called with <strong>
option</strong> equal to QP0Z_CVTTIME_TO_TIMESTAMP, will convert the number of
seconds and microseconds given in the <strong>from</strong> parameter to an
equivalent machine timestamp.</li>
</ol>

Header Files for UNIX-Type Functions</a>)</li>
<li><a href="cvttotv.htm">Qp0zCvtToTimeval() - Convert_MI_Time to Timeval
Structure</a></li>
</ul>

<h3>Example</h3>
<p>See <a href="../apiref/aboutapis.htm#codedisclaimer">Code disclaimer information</a>
for information pertaining to code examples.</p>
<p>The following example converts a timestamp:</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;qp0z1170.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;errno.h&gt;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
_MI_Time mt;
struct timeval tv;
int rc;
tv.tv_sec=867422292;
tv.tv_usec=52992;
printf("timeval timestamp: %u.%06u\n",
tv.tv_sec, tv.tv_usec);
rc = Qp0zCvtToMITime(mt, &amp;tv,
QP0Z_CVTTIME_TO_TIMESTAMP);
if(rc==0) {
printf("mi timestamp: %08X%08X\n",
*((unsigned *)&amp;mt[0]),
*((unsigned *)&amp;mt[4]));
}
else {
printf("Qp0zCvtToMITime() failed, errno = %d\n",
errno);
return -1;
}
return 0;
}
</pre>
<strong>Example Output:</strong>
<pre>
timeval timestamp: 867422292.052992
mi timestamp: 7B7E9425EAC00000
