DC_DATETIME_MKTIME(3)

okay bestie, welcome to DC_DATETIME_MKTIME(3) — a Library Functions Manual page for the library libdivecomputer 💅✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

dc_datetime_mktime — convert a local date and time to a timestamp. It’s giving “turn my broken-down clock situation into an integral timestamp” ⏰💖

📚 LIBRARY 📚

library libdivecomputer 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <libdivecomputer/datetime.h>

dc_ticks_t
dc_datetime_mktime(const dc_datetime_t *dt);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So dc_datetime_mktime takes a broken-down local date and time created with dc_datetime_localtime(3) and converts it into an integral timestamp. That’s the whole plot, no cap 📅➡️⏱️

Heads up: dc_datetime_mktime may internally invoke libc’s mktime(3). Just so you know, bestie 👀

🔥 RETURN VALUES 🔥

It returns the integral time-stamp, or -1 if the given date and time may not sanely be converted. So if you get -1, that date/time did not pass the vibe check 😭💀
