If B<s> is NULL a new ASN1_TIME -structure is allocated and returned. - -ASN1_TIME_adj() sets the ASN1_TIME structure B<s> to the time represented -by the time B<offset_day> and B<offset_sec> after the time_t value B<t>. -The values of B<offset_day> or B<offset_sec> can be negative to set a -time before B<t>. The B<offset_sec> value can also exceed the number of -seconds in a day. If B<s> is NULL a new ASN1_TIME structure is allocated -and returned. - -ASN1_TIME_set_string() sets ASN1_TIME structure B<s> to the time -represented by string B<str> which must be in appropriate ASN.1 time -format (for example YYMMDDHHMMSSZ or YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ). - -ASN1_TIME_check() checks the syntax of ASN1_TIME structure B<s>. - -ASN1_TIME_print() prints out the time B<s> to BIO B<b> in human readable -format. It will be of the format MMM DD HH:MM:SS YYYY [GMT], for example -"Feb 3 00:55:52 2015 GMT" it does not include a newline. If the time -structure has invalid format it prints out "Bad time value" and returns -an error. - -ASN1_TIME_diff() sets B<*pday> and B<*psec> to the time difference between -B<from> and B<to>. If B<to> represents a time later than B<from> then -one or both (depending on the time difference) of B<*pday> and B<*psec> -will be positive. If B<to> represents a time earlier than B<from> then -one or both of B<*pday> and B<*psec> will be negative. If B<to> and B<from> -represent the same time then B<*pday> and B<*psec> will both be zero. -If both B<*pday> and B<*psec> are non-zero they will always have the same -sign. The value of B<*psec> will always be less than the number of seconds -in a day. If B<from> or B<to> is NULL the current time is used. - -=head1 NOTES - -The ASN1_TIME structure corresponds to the ASN.1 structure B<Time> -defined in RFC5280 et al. The time setting functions obey the rules outlined -in RFC5280: if the date can be represented by UTCTime it is used, else -GeneralizedTime is used. - -The ASN1_TIME structure is represented as an ASN1_STRING internally and can -be freed up using ASN1_STRING_free(). - -The ASN1_TIME structure can represent years from 0000 to 9999 but no attempt -is made to correct ancient calendar changes (for example from Julian to -Gregorian calendars). - -Some applications add offset times directly to a time_t value and pass the -results to ASN1_TIME_set() (or equivalent). This can cause problems as the -time_t value can overflow on some systems resulting in unexpected results. -New applications should use ASN1_TIME_adj() instead and pass the offset value -in the B<offset_sec> and B<offset_day> parameters instead of directly -manipulating a time_t value. - -=head1 BUGS - -ASN1_TIME_print() currently does not print out the time zone: it either prints -out "GMT" or nothing. But all certificates complying with RFC5280 et al use GMT -anyway. - -=head1 EXAMPLES - -Set a time structure to one hour after the current time and print it out: - - #include <time.h> - #include <openssl/asn1.h> - ASN1_TIME *tm; - time_t t; - BIO *b; - t = time(NULL); - tm = ASN1_TIME_adj(NULL, t, 0, 60 * 60); - b = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE); - ASN1_TIME_print(b, tm); - ASN1_STRING_free(tm); - BIO_free(b); - -Determine if one time is later or sooner than the current time: - - int day, sec; - - if (!ASN1_TIME_diff(&day, &sec, NULL, to)) - /* Invalid time format */ - - if (day > 0 || sec > 0) - printf("Later\n"); - else if (day < 0 || sec < 0) - printf("Sooner\n"); - else - printf("Same\n"); - -=head1 RETURN VALUES - -ASN1_TIME_set() and ASN1_TIME_adj() return a pointer to an ASN1_TIME structure -or NULL if an error occurred. - -ASN1_TIME_set_string() returns 1 if the time value is successfully set and -0 otherwise. - -ASN1_TIME_check() returns 1 if the structure is syntactically correct and 0 -otherwise. - -ASN1_TIME_print() returns 1 if the time is successfully printed out and 0 if -an error occurred (I/O error or invalid time format). - -ASN1_TIME_diff() returns 1 for sucess and 0 for failure. It can fail if the -pass ASN1_TIME structure has invalid syntax for example. - -=cut |
