Converts an ASCII string to an absolute or delta time value in the system 64-bit time format suitable for input to the Set Timer ($SETIMR) or Schedule Wakeup ($SCHDWK) service. On Alpha and Integrity server systems, this service accepts 64- bit addresses. Format SYS$BINTIM timbuf ,timadr C Prototype int sys$bintim (void *timbuf, struct _generic_64 *timadr);
1 – Arguments
timbuf OpenVMS usage:time_name type: character-coded text string access: read only mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor Buffer that holds the ASCII time to be converted. The timbuf argument specifies the 32- or 64-bit address of a character string descriptor pointing to the time string. The time string specifies the absolute or delta time to be converted by $BINTIM. timadr OpenVMS usage:date_time type: quadword access: write only mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit reference Time value that $BINTIM has converted. The timadr argument is the 32- or 64-bit address of the quadword system time, which receives the converted time.
