gmtime---convert time to UTC traditional form

#include <time.h>
struct tm *gmtime(const time_t *timep
    
    @end example
Description

gmtime assumes the time at timep represents a local time.
gmtime converts it to UTC (Universal Coordinated Time, also known in some
countries as GMT, Greenwich Mean time), then converts the
representation from the arithmetic representation to
the traditional representation defined by struct tm.

gmtime constructs the traditional time representation in static
storage; each call to gmtime or localtime will overwrite the
information generated by previous calls to either function.



Returns

A pointer to the traditional time representation (struct tm).



Portability

ANSI C requires gmtime.

gmtime requires no supporting OS subroutines.
