TIMEGM(3)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 TIMEGM(3)

NAME
       timegm, timelocal - inverses of gmtime and localtime
SYNOPSIS
       #include <time.h>
       time_t timelocal(struct tm *tm);
       time_t timegm(struct tm *tm);
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       timelocal(), timegm(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
       The functions timelocal() and timegm() are the inverses of localtime(3)
       and gmtime(3).
CONFORMING TO
       These functions are nonstandard GNU extensions that are also present on
       the BSDs.  Avoid their use; see NOTES.
NOTES
       The  timelocal()  function is equivalent to the POSIX standard function
       mktime(3).  There is no reason to ever use it.
       For a portable version of timegm(), set the TZ environment variable  to
       UTC, call mktime(3) and restore the value of TZ.  Something like
           #include <time.h>
           #include <stdlib.h>
           time_t
           my_timegm(struct tm *tm)
           {
               time_t ret;
               char *tz;
               tz = getenv("TZ");
               if (tz)
                   tz = strdup(tz);
               setenv("TZ", "", 1);
               tzset();
               ret = mktime(tm);
               if (tz) {
                   setenv("TZ", tz, 1);
                   free(tz);
               } else
                   unsetenv("TZ");
               tzset();
               return ret;
           }
