If \fBs\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 a new time structure is allocated and returned. .PP The \fIASN1_TIME_adj()\fR, \fIASN1_UTCTIME_adj()\fR and \fIASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_adj()\fR functions set the time structure \fBs\fR to the time represented by the time \fBoffset_day\fR and \fBoffset_sec\fR after the time_t value \fBt\fR. The values of \fBoffset_day\fR or \fBoffset_sec\fR can be negative to set a time before \fBt\fR. The \fBoffset_sec\fR value can also exceed the number of seconds in a day. If \fBs\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 a new structure is allocated and returned. .PP The \fIASN1_TIME_set_string()\fR, \fIASN1_UTCTIME_set_string()\fR and \&\fIASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()\fR functions set the time structure \fBs\fR to the time represented by string \fBstr\fR which must be in appropriate \s-1ASN.1\s0 time format (for example \s-1YYMMDDHHMMSSZ\s0 or \s-1YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ\s0). If \fBs\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 this function performs a format check on \fBstr\fR only. The string \fBstr\fR is copied into \fBs\fR. .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_set_string_X509()\fR sets \s-1ASN1_TIME\s0 structure \fBs\fR to the time represented by string \fBstr\fR which must be in appropriate time format that \s-1RFC 5280\s0 requires, which means it only allows \s-1YYMMDDHHMMSSZ\s0 and \&\s-1YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ \s0(leap second is rejected), all other \s-1ASN.1\s0 time format are not allowed. If \fBs\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 this function performs a format check on \fBstr\fR only. .PP The \fIASN1_TIME_normalize()\fR function converts an \s-1ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME\s0 or \&\s-1ASN1_UTCTIME\s0 into a time value that can be used in a certificate. It should be used after the \fIASN1_TIME_set_string()\fR functions and before \&\fIASN1_TIME_print()\fR functions to get consistent (i.e. \s-1GMT\s0) results. .PP The \fIASN1_TIME_check()\fR, \fIASN1_UTCTIME_check()\fR and \fIASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check()\fR functions check the syntax of the time structure \fBs\fR. .PP The \fIASN1_TIME_print()\fR, \fIASN1_UTCTIME_print()\fR and \fIASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_print()\fR functions print the time structure \fBs\fR to \s-1BIO \s0\fBb\fR in human readable format. It will be of the format \s-1MMM DD HH:MM:SS YYYY\s0 [\s-1GMT\s0], for example \&\*(L"Feb 3 00:55:52 2015 \s-1GMT\*(R"\s0 it does not include a newline. If the time structure has invalid format it prints out \*(L"Bad time value\*(R" and returns an error. The output for generalized time may include a fractional part following the second. .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_to_tm()\fR converts the time \fBs\fR to the standard \fBtm\fR structure. If \fBs\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 then the current time is converted. The output time is \s-1GMT.\s0 The \fBtm_sec\fR, \fBtm_min\fR, \fBtm_hour\fR, \fBtm_mday\fR, \fBtm_wday\fR, \fBtm_yday\fR, \&\fBtm_mon\fR and \fBtm_year\fR fields of \fBtm\fR structure are set to proper values, whereas all other fields are set to 0. If \fBtm\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 this function performs a format check on \fBs\fR only. If \fBs\fR is in Generalized format with fractional seconds, e.g. \s-1YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.SSSZ,\s0 the fractional seconds will be lost while converting \fBs\fR to \fBtm\fR structure. .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_diff()\fR sets \fB*pday\fR and \fB*psec\fR to the time difference between \&\fBfrom\fR and \fBto\fR. If \fBto\fR represents a time later than \fBfrom\fR then one or both (depending on the time difference) of \fB*pday\fR and \fB*psec\fR will be positive. If \fBto\fR represents a time earlier than \fBfrom\fR then one or both of \fB*pday\fR and \fB*psec\fR will be negative. If \fBto\fR and \fBfrom\fR represent the same time then \fB*pday\fR and \fB*psec\fR will both be zero. If both \fB*pday\fR and \fB*psec\fR are nonzero they will always have the same sign. The value of \fB*psec\fR will always be less than the number of seconds in a day. If \fBfrom\fR or \fBto\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 the current time is used. .PP The \fIASN1_TIME_cmp_time_t()\fR and \fIASN1_UTCTIME_cmp_time_t()\fR functions compare the two times represented by the time structure \fBs\fR and the time_t \fBt\fR. .PP The \fIASN1_TIME_compare()\fR function compares the two times represented by the time structures \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR. .PP The \fIASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()\fR function converts an \s-1ASN1_TIME\s0 to an \&\s-1ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME,\s0 regardless of year. If either \fBout\fR or \&\fB*out\fR are \s-1NULL,\s0 then a new object is allocated and must be freed after use. .SH "NOTES" .IX Header "NOTES" The \s-1ASN1_TIME\s0 structure corresponds to the \s-1ASN.1\s0 structure \fBTime\fR defined in \s-1RFC5280\s0 et al. The time setting functions obey the rules outlined in \s-1RFC5280:\s0 if the date can be represented by UTCTime it is used, else GeneralizedTime is used. .PP The \s-1ASN1_TIME, ASN1_UTCTIME\s0 and \s-1ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME\s0 structures are represented as an \s-1ASN1_STRING\s0 internally and can be freed up using \fIASN1_STRING_free()\fR. .PP The \s-1ASN1_TIME\s0 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). .PP \&\s-1ASN1_UTCTIME\s0 is limited to a year range of 1950 through 2049. .PP Some applications add offset times directly to a time_t value and pass the results to \fIASN1_TIME_set()\fR (or equivalent). This can cause problems as the time_t value can overflow on some systems resulting in unexpected results. New applications should use \fIASN1_TIME_adj()\fR instead and pass the offset value in the \fBoffset_sec\fR and \fBoffset_day\fR parameters instead of directly manipulating a time_t value. .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_adj()\fR may change the type from \s-1ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME\s0 to \s-1ASN1_UTCTIME,\s0 or vice versa, based on the resulting year. The \fIASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_adj()\fR and \&\fIASN1_UTCTIME_adj()\fR functions will not modify the type of the return structure. .PP It is recommended that functions starting with \s-1ASN1_TIME\s0 be used instead of those starting with \s-1ASN1_UTCTIME\s0 or \s-1ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME.\s0 The functions starting with \s-1ASN1_UTCTIME\s0 and \s-1ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME\s0 act only on that specific time format. The functions starting with \s-1ASN1_TIME\s0 will operate on either format. .SH "BUGS" .IX Header "BUGS" \&\fIASN1_TIME_print()\fR, \fIASN1_UTCTIME_print()\fR and \fIASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_print()\fR do not print out the timezone: it either prints out \*(L"\s-1GMT\*(R"\s0 or nothing. But all certificates complying with \s-1RFC5280\s0 et al use \s-1GMT\s0 anyway. .PP Use the \fIASN1_TIME_normalize()\fR function to normalize the time value before printing to get \s-1GMT\s0 results. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fIASN1_TIME_set()\fR, \fIASN1_UTCTIME_set()\fR, \fIASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set()\fR, \fIASN1_TIME_adj()\fR, ASN1_UTCTIME_adj and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set return a pointer to a time structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred. .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_set_string()\fR, \fIASN1_UTCTIME_set_string()\fR, \fIASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()\fR \&\fIASN1_TIME_set_string_X509()\fR return 1 if the time value is successfully set and 0 otherwise. .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_normalize()\fR returns 1 on success, and 0 on error. .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_check()\fR, ASN1_UTCTIME_check and \fIASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check()\fR return 1 if the structure is syntactically correct and 0 otherwise. .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_print()\fR, \fIASN1_UTCTIME_print()\fR and \fIASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_print()\fR return 1 if the time is successfully printed out and 0 if an error occurred (I/O error or invalid time format). .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_to_tm()\fR returns 1 if the time is successfully parsed and 0 if an error occurred (invalid time format). .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_diff()\fR returns 1 for success and 0 for failure. It can fail if the passed-in time structure has invalid syntax, for example. .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_cmp_time_t()\fR and \fIASN1_UTCTIME_cmp_time_t()\fR return \-1 if \fBs\fR is before \fBt\fR, 0 if \fBs\fR equals \fBt\fR, or 1 if \fBs\fR is after \fBt\fR. \-2 is returned on error. .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_compare()\fR returns \-1 if \fBa\fR is before \fBb\fR, 0 if \fBa\fR equals \fBb\fR, or 1 if \fBa\fR is after \fBb\fR. \-2 is returned on error. .PP \&\fIASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()\fR returns a pointer to the appropriate time structure on success or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred. .SH "EXAMPLES" .IX Header "EXAMPLES" Set a time structure to one hour after the current time and print it out: .PP .Vb 2 \& #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); .Ve .PP Determine if one time is later or sooner than the current time: .PP .Vb 1 \& int day, sec; \& \& if (!ASN1_TIME_diff(&day, &sec, NULL, to)) \& /* Invalid time format */ \& \& if (day > 0 || sec > 0) \& printf("Later\en"); \& else if (day < 0 || sec < 0) \& printf("Sooner\en"); \& else \& printf("Same\en"); .Ve .SH "HISTORY" .IX Header "HISTORY" The \fIASN1_TIME_to_tm()\fR function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
