My thanks to you and to one other individual who have written responses to my questions.
You're welcome.
I will talk to the people who extracted the file and see if there is a possibility we got the wrong data in that field. One would hope that the time stamp data are normal 32-bit values that can be sucked in by a %lx in sscanf.
No, they aren't, but there is sample code at the end of RFC-4122 which you might want to review. In particular:
typedef unsigned64_t uuid_time_t; void get_system_time(uuid_time_t *uuid_time) { struct timeval tp; gettimeofday(&tp, (struct timezone *)0); /* Offset between UUID formatted times and Unix formatted times. UUID UTC base time is October 15, 1582. Unix base time is January 1, 1970.*/ *uuid_time = ((unsigned64)tp.tv_sec * 10000000) + ((unsigned64)tp.tv_usec * 10) + I64(0x01B21DD213814000); } -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
