I'm writing some Python wrappers at the moment and hade to do the same thing
on several occations and used a helper to get a time in seconds...
PyObject *
helper_get_date (ASN1_UTCTIME *time)
{
int seconds=0, local_hour=0, local_minute=0, local_seconds=0;
char buf[16];
struct tm cert_time;
memcpy( buf, time->data, 12 );
strptime( buf, "%y%m%d%H%M%S", &cert_time );
seconds = mktime( &cert_time );
memcpy( buf, &time->data[13], 2 ); // get hour value
buf[2] = 0; local_hour = atoi(buf);
memcpy( buf, &time->data[16], 2 ); // get minute value
buf[2] = 0; local_minute = atoi(buf);
local_seconds = (local_hour * 60 * 60) + (local_minute * 60);
if (time->data[12] == '-')
local_seconds *= -1;
return Py_BuildValue("(ii)", seconds, local_seconds);
error:
return NULL;
}
Obvioustly you want to ignore the return type, seconds is what you would
really be interested in. The local seconds are the time zone offset.
Hope this helps, also hope I didn't miss any built in functions which do the
same thing.
