66 * PRTime --
67 *
68 * NSPR represents basic time as 64-bit signed integers relative
69 * to midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
70 * (GMT is also known as Coordinated Universal Time, UTC.)
71 * The units of time are in microseconds. Negative times are allowed
72 * to represent times prior to the January 1970 epoch. Such values are
73 * intended to be exported to other systems or converted to human
74 * readable form.
75 *
76 * Notes on porting: PRTime corresponds to time_t in ANSI C. NSPR 1.0
77 * simply uses PRInt64.

97 * saving time corrections may be applied. If they are applied, the
98 * offsets from the GMT must be saved in the 'tm_params' field so that
99 * all the information is available to reconstruct GMT.

101 * Notes on porting: PRExplodedTime corrresponds to struct tm in
102 * ANSI C, with the following differences:
103 * - an additional field tm_usec;

106 * - we use absolute year, AD, not the year since 1900.

137 *

141 * point to a PRExplodedTime that is in GMT, i.e., whose

144 * For any time zone other than GMT, the computation is intended to
145 * consist of two steps:
146 * - Figure out the time zone correction, tp_gmt_offset. This number
147 * usually depends on the geographic location only. But it may
148 * also depend on the current time. For example, all of China
149 * is one time zone right now. But this situation may change
150 * in the future.
151 * - Figure out the daylight saving time correction, tp_dst_offset.
152 * This number depends on both the geographic location and the
153 * current time. Most of the DST rules are expressed in local
154 * current time. If so, one should apply the time zone correction
155 * to GMT before applying the DST rules.
