Date :: toUnixTime - Get unix timestamp from ODABA date value

The function returns a Unix timestamp from the date value. Time is assumed to be 00:00:00,00.

The unix timestamp contains the number of seconds since 1.1.1970 0:00:00 (UTC), which is an absolute timestamp that might be converted into local time.

Implementation overview

Implementation details

  1. Get unix timestamp from local ODABA date value
    int64 Date  :: toUnixTime ( bool bLocalTime )

    When true has been passed in bLocalTime, the value is considered as local time and will be converted to Greenwich standard time (UTC). Conversion may alter the date value returned.

    When passing false in bLocalTime, no conversion takes place and it is up to the application interpreting the value as local or standard time.
    • bLocalTime - Local or standard time

      The option indicates, that a time value or timestamp contains local time (true) or Greenwich standard time (false).
