       This  documentation  is intended for internal Performance Co-Pilot
       (PCP) developer use.

       These interfaces are not part of the PCP APIs that are  guaranteed
       to  remain  fixed  across  releases, and they may not work, or may
       provide different semantics at some point in the future.

DESCRIPTION         top

       __pmConvertTime and __pmConvertHighResTime accept a  tm  structure
       that  has been filled in by __pmParseCtime(3) and a reference time
       point origin, and fills in the given rslt structure with the  time
       the user meant when specifying a partial ctime or positive or neg‐
       ative time interval.

       Typically,  the argument origin is the start time for a set of PCP
       archives, unless the user specified a negative interval offset, in
       which case it is the end time of the archive.

       __pmConvertTime and __pmConvertHighResTime return 0 if successful.
       They return -1 and write an error message to stderr, if  an  error
       is detected.

       Use pmNewZone(3), pmNewContextZone(3) or pmUseZone(3) to establish
       a new current timezone that will effect __pmConvertTime.
