Example

   The following example checks if the current time (ignoring
   inaccuracies) is after 1:00 P.M. today local time.

   struct tm           tmtime, tmzero;
   enum utc_cmptype    relation;
   utc_t               testtime;

   /*
    *   Zero the tm structure for inaccuracy...
    */

   memset(&tmzero, 0, sizeof(tmzero));

   /*
    *   Get the current time, mapped to a tm structure...
    *
    *        NOTE:  The NULL argument is used to get the current time.
    */

   utc_localtime(&tmtime,   /* Out: Current local time in tm struct */
            (long *)0,      /* Out: Nanoseconds of time             */
            (struct tm *)0, /* Out: Current inacc in tm struct      */
            (long *)0,      /* Out: Nanoseconds of inaccuracy       */
            (utc_t *)0);    /* In:  Current timestamp               */

   /*
    *   Construct a tm structure that corresponds to 1:00 P.M....
    */

   tmtime.tm_hour = 13;
   tmtime.tm_min = 0;
   tmtime.tm_sec = 0;

   /*
    *   Convert to a binary timestamp...
    */

   utc_mklocaltime(&testtime, /* Out: Binary timestamp of 1:00 P.M. */
                   &tmtime,   /* In:  1:00 P.M. in tm struct        */
                   0,         /* In:  Nanoseconds of time           */
                   &tmzero,   /* In:  Zero inaccuracy in tm struct  */
                   0);        /* In:  Nanoseconds of inaccuracy     */

   /*
    *   Compare to the current time, noting the use of the
    *   NULL argument...
    */

   utc_cmpmidtime(&relation,    /* Out: Comparison relation         */
                  (utc_t *)0,   /* In:  Current timestamp           */
                  &testtime);   /* In:  1:00 P.M. timestamp         */

   /*
    *   If the time is not later - wait, print a message, etc.
    */

   if (relation != utc_greaterThan) {

   /*          It is not later then 1:00 P.M. local time. Note that
    *          this depends on the setting of the user's environment.
    */
