Implementation details

  1. Get standard timestamp
    int64 DateTime  :: toUnixTime ( bool bLocalTime )

    The function returns the Unix timestamp for the current ODABA date. When true has been passed in bLocalTime, the function considers the time value as local time and converts it to Greenwich standard time. When false has been passed in bLocalTime, the function returns the time without converting from local time.

    • bLocalTime - Local or standard time

      The option indicates, that a time value or timestamp contains local time (true) or Greenwich standard time (false).
