65 * NSPR represents basic time as 64-bit signed integers relative
66 * to midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
67 * (GMT is also known as Coordinated Universal Time, UTC.)
68 * The units of time are in microseconds. Negative times are allowed
69 * to represent times prior to the January 1970 epoch. Such values are
70 * intended to be exported to other systems or converted to human
73 * Notes on porting: PRTime corresponds to time_t in ANSI C. NSPR 1.0
74 * simply uses PRInt64.

81 * obtain the local time of some geographic location

; /* the offset from GMT in seconds */
86 PRInt32 tp_dst_offset
; /* contribution of DST in seconds */
92 * Time broken down into human-readable components such as year, month,
93 * day, hour, minute, second, and microsecond. Time zone and daylight
94 * saving time corrections may be applied. If they are applied, the
95 * offsets from the GMT must be saved in the 'tm_params' field so that
96 * all the information is available to reconstruct GMT.
98 * Notes on porting: PRExplodedTime corrresponds to struct tm in
99 * ANSI C, with the following differences:
100 * - an additional field tm_usec;
101 * - replacing tm_isdst by tm_params;
102 * - the month field is spelled tm_month, not tm_mon;
103 * - we use absolute year, AD, not the year since 1900.
104 * The corresponding type in NSPR 1.0 is called PRTime. Below is
105 * a table of date/time type correspondence in the three APIs:
106 * API time since epoch time in components
107 * ANSI C time_t struct tm
108 * NSPR 1.0 PRInt64 PRTime
109 * NSPR 2.0 PRTime PRExplodedTime

114 PRInt32 tm_sec

115 up to two leap seconds) */
116 PRInt32 tm_min

129 PRTimeParameters tm_params
; /* time parameters used by conversion */
135 * A function of PRTimeParamFn type returns the time zone and
136 * daylight saving time corrections for some geographic location,
137 * given the current time in GMT. The input argument gmt should
138 * point to a PRExplodedTime that is in GMT, i.e., whose
139 * tm_params contains all 0's.
141 * For any time zone other than GMT, the computation is intended to
142 * consist of two steps:
143 * - Figure out the time zone correction, tp_gmt_offset. This number
144 * usually depends on the geographic location only. But it may
145 * also depend on the current time. For example, all of China
146 * is one time zone right now. But this situation may change
148 * - Figure out the daylight saving time correction, tp_dst_offset.
149 * This number depends on both the geographic location and the
150 * current time. Most of the DST rules are expressed in local
151 * current time. If so, one should apply the time zone correction
152 * to GMT before applying the DST rules.

162 * The PR_Now routine returns the current time relative to the
163 * epoch, midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC. The units of the returned
164 * value are microseconds since the epoch.
166 * The values returned are not guaranteed to advance in a linear fashion
167 * due to the application of time correction protocols which synchronize
168 * computer clocks to some external time source. Consequently it should
169 * not be depended on for interval timing.
