Function strtotime - convert a string to a time structure
Syntax struct time *strtotime(char *source);
Prototype in timehk.h
Remarks strtotime converts a string to a time structure,
checking for AM/PM or 24-hour format. If seconds or
hundredths of seconds are not in the string, their
values will be set to 0 in the structure.
Return value returns a pointer to the storage location
containing the time string, or NULL if space could
not be allocated.
See also timetostr()
Example #include <timehk.h>
main()
{
struct time *now;
strcpy(strnow,"5:12 PM");
if ((now = strtotime(strnow)) != NULL)
printf("%d hours, %d min, %d.%d secs\n",
now->ti_hour, now->ti_min,
now->ti_sec, now->ti_hund);
}
Program output 17 hours, 12 min, 0.0 secs
