       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 accepts 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 he specified a
       partial ctime or positive or negative time interval.

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

       __pmConvertTime returns 0 if successful.  It returns -1 and writes 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.
