Converts an ASCII string to an absolute time value in the 128-bit UTC format. On Alpha and Integrity server systems, this service accepts 64- bit addresses. Format SYS$BINUTC timbuf ,utcadr C Prototype int sys$binutc (void *timbuf, unsigned int *utcadr [4]);
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 a local time string. The time string specifies the absolute time to be converted by $BINUTC. utcadr OpenVMS usage:coordinated universal time type: utc_date_time access: write only mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit reference Time value that $BINUTC has converted. The utcadr argument is the 32- or 64-bit address of a 16-byte location to receive the converted time.
