I have a function that I wrote (if there is a good standard substitute, please let me know ...)
time_t get_unix_time(string time_str) {
time_t loctime;
time(&loctime);
struct tm *given_time;
time_str = time_str.substr(0, time_str.find_first_of('.'));
replace(time_str.begin(), time_str.end(), ':', ',');
replace(time_str.begin(), time_str.end(), '-', ',');
replace(time_str.begin(), time_str.end(), '/', ',');
replace(time_str.begin(), time_str.end(), ' ', ',');
given_time = localtime(&loctime);
vector<string> trecord = split_string(time_str, ',');
given_time->tm_year = atoi(trecord.at(0).c_str()) - 1900;
given_time->tm_mon = atoi(trecord.at(1).c_str()) - 1;
given_time->tm_mday = atoi(trecord.at(2).c_str());
given_time->tm_hour = atoi(trecord.at(3).c_str());
given_time->tm_min = atoi(trecord.at(4).c_str());
given_time->tm_sec = atoi(trecord.at(5).c_str());
return mktime(given_time);
}
The input (time_str) to the function has the format 1970-01-01 00: 00: 00.0 . The split_string () function splits a string time_strinto a vector containing:
{1970, 01, 01, 00, 00, 00}
which is used to populate the given_time structure.
I wrote a function to test it and passed exactly this input (the beginning of an era). However, the time it returns to me is 21600, which is 1970-01-01 06:00:00 , or UTC + 6 . The expected exit is 0 (the beginning of an era).
: -, UTC - 6. 1 1970 , @UTC 1 1970 06:00:00.
