gmtime_s, _gmtime32_s, _gmtime64_s
Converts a time value to a tm structure. These are versions of _gmtime32, _gmtime64 with security enhancements as described in Security Features in the CRT.
Syntax
errno_t gmtime_s(
struct tm* tmDest,
const __time_t* sourceTime
);
errno_t _gmtime32_s(
struct tm* tmDest,
const __time32_t* sourceTime
);
errno_t _gmtime64_s(
struct tm* tmDest,
const __time64_t* sourceTime
);
Parameters
tmDest
Pointer to a tm structure. The fields of the returned structure hold the evaluated value of the timer argument in UTC rather than in local time.
sourceTime
Pointer to stored time. The time is represented as seconds elapsed since midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970, coordinated universal time (UTC).
Return Value
Zero if successful. The return value is an error code if there's a failure. Error codes are defined in Errno.h; for a listing of these errors, see errno.
Error Conditions
tmDest |
sourceTime |
Return | Value in tmDest |
|---|---|---|---|
NULL |
any | EINVAL |
Not modified. |
Not NULL (points to valid memory) |
NULL |
EINVAL |
All fields set to -1. |
Not NULL |
< 0 | EINVAL |
All fields set to -1. |
In the case of the first two error conditions, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, these functions set errno to EINVAL and return EINVAL.
Remarks
The _gmtime32_s function breaks down the sourceTime value and stores it in a structure of type tm, defined in Time.h. The address of the structure is passed in tmDest. The value of sourceTime is usually obtained from a call to the time function.
Note
The target environment should try to determine whether daylight savings time is in effect. The C run-time library assumes the United States rules for implementing the calculation of daylight saving time .
Each of the structure fields is of type int, as shown in the following table.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
tm_sec |
Seconds after minute (0 - 59). |
tm_min |
Minutes after hour (0 - 59). |
tm_hour |
Hours since midnight (0 - 23). |
tm_mday |
Day of month (1 - 31). |
tm_mon |
Month (0 - 11; January = 0). |
tm_year |
Year (current year minus 1900). |
tm_wday |
Day of week (0 - 6; Sunday = 0). |
tm_yday |
Day of year (0 - 365; January 1 = 0). |
tm_isdst |
Always 0 for gmtime_s. |
_gmtime64_s, which uses the __time64_t structure, allows dates to be expressed up through 23:59:59, December 31, 3000, UTC; whereas gmtime32_s only represent dates through 23:59:59 January 18, 2038, UTC. Midnight, January 1, 1970, is the lower bound of the date range for both these functions.
gmtime_s is an inline function that evaluates to _gmtime64_s and time_t is equivalent to __time64_t. If you need to force the compiler to interpret time_t as the old 32-bit time_t, you can define _USE_32BIT_TIME_T. Doing this will cause gmtime_s to be in-lined to _gmtime32_s. This isn't recommended because your application may fail after January 18, 2038, and it isn't allowed on 64-bit platforms.
By default, this function's global state is scoped to the application. To change this, see Global state in the CRT.

Example
// crt_gmtime64_s.c
// This program uses _gmtime64_s to convert a 64-bit
// integer representation of coordinated universal time
// to a structure named newtime, then uses asctime_s to
// convert this structure to an output string.
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main( void )
{
struct tm newtime;
__int64 ltime;
char buf[26];
errno_t err;
_time64( <ime );
// Obtain coordinated universal time:
err = _gmtime64_s( &newtime, <ime );
if (err)
{
printf("Invalid Argument to _gmtime64_s.");
}
// Convert to an ASCII representation
err = asctime_s(buf, 26, &newtime);
if (err)
{
printf("Invalid Argument to asctime_s.");
}
printf( "Coordinated universal time is %s\n",
buf );
}
Coordinated universal time is Fri Apr 25 20:12:33 2003
