The DosDateTimeToFileTime function converts MS-DOS date and time values to a 64-bit file time.
BOOL DosDateTimeToFileTime(
WORD wFatDate, | // 16-bit MS-DOS date |
WORD wFatTime, | // 16-bit MS-DOS time |
LPFILETIME lpFileTime | // pointer to buffer for 64-bit file time |
); |
Parameters
wFatDate
Specifies the MS-DOS date. The date is a packed 16-bit value with the following format:
Bits | Contents |
0-4 | Day of the month (1-31) |
5-8 | Month (1 = January, 2 = February, and so on) |
9-15 | Year offset from 1980 (add 1980 to get actual year) |
wFatTime
Specifies the MS-DOS time. The time is a packed 16-bit value with the following format:
Bits | Contents |
0-4 | Second divided by 2 |
5-10 | Minute (0-59) |
11-15 | Hour (0-23 on a 24-hour clock) |
lpFileTime
Points to a FILETIME structure to receive the converted 64-bit file time.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
