localtime_s, _localtime32_s, _localtime64_s

Converts a time value and corrects for the local time zone. These are versions of localtime, _localtime32, _localtime64 with security enhancements as described in Security Features in the CRT.

errno_t localtime_s(
   struct tm* _tm,
   const time_t *time 
);
errno_t _localtime32_s(
   struct tm* _tm,
   const time32_t *time 
);
errno_t _localtime64_s(
   struct tm* _tm,
   const _time64_t *time 
);

Parameters

  • _tm
    Pointer to the time structure to be filled in.

  • time
    Pointer to the stored time.

Return Value

Zero if successful. The return value is an error code if there is a failure. Error codes are defined in Errno.h. For a listing of these errors, see errno.

Error Conditions

_tm

time

Return value

Value in _tm

Invokes invalid parameter handler

NULL

any

EINVAL

Not modified

Yes

Not NULL (points to valid memory)

NULL

EINVAL

All fields set to -1

Yes

Not NULL (points to valid memory)

less than 0 or greater than _MAX__TIME64_T

EINVAL

All fields set to -1

No

In the case of the first two error conditions, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, these functions set errno to EINVAL and return EINVAL.

Remarks

The _localtime32_s function converts a time stored as a time_t value and stores the result in a structure of type tm. The long value timer represents the seconds elapsed since midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970, UTC. This value is usually obtained from the time function.

_localtime32_s corrects for the local time zone if the user first sets the global environment variable TZ. When TZ is set, three other environment variables (_timezone, _daylight, and _tzname) are automatically set as well. If the TZ variable is not set, localtime32_s attempts to use the time zone information specified in the Date/Time application in Control Panel. If this information cannot be obtained, PST8PDT, which signifies the Pacific time zone, is used by default. See _tzset for a description of these variables. TZ is a Microsoft extension and not part of the ANSI standard definition of localtime.

Note

The target environment should try to determine whether daylight saving time is in effect.

_localtime64_s, which uses the __time64_t structure, allows dates to be expressed up through 23:59:59, December 31, 3000, coordinated universal time (UTC), whereas _localtime32_s represents dates through 03:14:07 January 19, 2038, UTC.

localtime_s is an inline function which evaluates to _localtime64_s, and time_t is equivalent to __time64_t. If you need to force the compiler to interpret time_t as the old 32-bit time_t, you can define _USE_32BIT_TIME_T. Doing this will cause localtime_s to evaluate to _localtime32_s. This is not recommended because your application may fail after January 19, 2038, and it is not allowed on 64-bit platforms.

The fields of the structure type tm store the following values, each of which is an int.

  • tm_sec
    Seconds after minute (0 – 59).

  • tm_min
    Minutes after hour (0 – 59).

  • tm_hour
    Hours after midnight (0 – 23).

  • tm_mday
    Day of month (1 – 31).

  • tm_mon
    Month (0 – 11; January = 0).

  • tm_year
    Year (current year minus 1900).

  • tm_wday
    Day of week (0 – 6; Sunday = 0).

  • tm_yday
    Day of year (0 – 365; January 1 = 0).

  • tm_isdst
    Positive value if daylight saving time is in effect; 0 if daylight saving time is not in effect; negative value if status of daylight saving time is unknown. If the TZ environment variable is set, the C run-time library assumes rules appropriate to the United States for implementing the calculation of daylight saving time (DST).

Example

// crt_localtime_s.c
/* This program uses _time64 to get the current time 
 * and then uses _localtime64_s() to convert this time to a structure 
 * representing the local time. The program converts the result 
 * from a 24-hour clock to a 12-hour clock and determines the 
 * proper extension (AM or PM).
