setbasetime

int setbasetime(char *string)

Return:

0
Success
-1
Failure: incorrect string format

This function sets the base time used by the time-conversion functions timstr and strtim. Its argument is a null-terminated ASCII string in HH:MM:SS format. An optional base date in dd/mm/yyyy format can follow the time in string; if present, the date should be separated from the time by a space or tab character. If string is empty or NULL, the current date and time are read from the system clock. Use setbasetime after defining the sampling frequency and before creating a `header' file (see section newheader). See section Example 8: Creating a New Database Record, for an illustration of the use of setbasetime.
