SYNOPSIS

subroutine date_to_unix(dat,unixtime,ierr)

    integer,intent(in)               :: dat(8)
    real(kind=realtime),intent(out)  :: unixtime
    integer,intent(out)              :: ierr

DESCRIPTION

Converts a DAT date-time array to a UET (Unix Epoch Time).

OPTIONS

dat Integer array holding a "DAT" array, similar in structure to the array returned by the intrinsic DATE_AND_TIME(3f):
             dat=[ year,month,day,timezone,hour,&
              & minutes,seconds,milliseconds]

RETURNS

unixtime
The "Unix Epoch" time, or the number of seconds since 00:00:00 on January 1st, 1970, UTC.

ierr Error code. If 0 no error occurred.

EXAMPLE

Sample program:

     program demo_date_to_unix
     use M_time, only : date_to_unix, realtime
     implicit none
     integer             :: dat(8)
     real(kind=realtime) :: unixtime
     integer             :: ierr
        call date_and_time(values=dat)
        write(*,’(" Today is:",*(i0:,":"))’)dat
        call date_to_unix(dat,unixtime,ierr)
        write(*,*)’Unix Epoch time is ’,unixtime
        write(*,*)’ierr is ’,ierr
     end program demo_date_to_unix

results:

Today is:2016:7:18:-240:23:44:20:434 Unix Epoch time is 1468899860.4340105 ierr is 0
