9 * We have to convert from a MM/DD/YY format to the Unix ctime format.
10 * We have to take into account leap years and all of that good stuff.
11 * Unfortunately, the kernel does not have the information on hand to
12 * take into account daylight savings time, but it shouldn't matter.
13 * The time stored should be localtime (with or without DST in effect),
14 * and the timezone offset should hold the offset required to get back
15 * to GMT. Thus we should always be correct.
18 int iso_date(u8 *p, int flag)
20 int year, month, day, hour, minute, second, tz;
29 if (flag == 0) tz = p[6]; /* High sierra has no time zone */
35 crtime = mktime64(year+1900, month, day, hour, minute, second);
42 * The timezone offset is unreliable on some disks,
43 * so we make a sanity check. In no case is it ever
44 * more than 13 hours from GMT, which is 52*15min.
45 * The time is always stored in localtime with the
46 * timezone offset being what get added to GMT to
47 * get to localtime. Thus we need to subtract the offset
48 * to get to true GMT, which is what we store the time
49 * as internally. On the local system, the user may set
50 * their timezone any way they wish, of course, so GMT
51 * gets converted back to localtime on the receiving
54 * NOTE: mkisofs in versions prior to mkisofs-1.10 had
55 * the sign wrong on the timezone offset. This has now
56 * been corrected there too, but if you are getting screwy
57 * results this may be the explanation. If enough people
58 * complain, a user configuration option could be added
59 * to add the timezone offset in with the wrong sign
60 * for 'compatibility' with older discs, but I cannot see how
61 * it will matter that much.
63 * Thanks to kuhlmav@elec.canterbury.ac.nz (Volker Kuhlmann)
64 * for pointing out the sign error.
