Comparing Two Times

To determine the difference in seconds between two times, call the time difference function, time_diff():

long time_diff(time1_stp, time2_stp, format_stp)

UCHAR *time1_stp;

/* First time string

*/

UCHAR *time2_stp;

/* Second time string

*/

UCHAR *format_stp;

/* Time format string to use

*/

This function converts both times to the number of elapsed seconds and finds the difference with the formula:

difference = time2 - time1
