cdflib.computeEpoch

Convert time value to CDF_EPOCH value

Syntax

epoch = cdflib.computeEpoch(timeval)


Description

epoch = cdflib.computeEpoch(timeval) converts the time value specified by timeval into a CDF_EPOCH value.

Input Arguments

timeval

7-by-1 time vector. The following table describes the time components. Component Description year AD e.g. 1994 month 1–12 day 1–31 hour 0–23 minute 0–59 second 0–59 millisecond 0–999

Output Arguments

epoch

MATLAB® double representing a CDF_EPOCH time value.

Examples

Convert a time value into a CDF_EPOCH value.

timeval = [1999 12 31 23 59 59 0];
epoch = cdflib.computeEpoch(timeval)

epoch =

   6.3114e+13

Tips

• This function corresponds to the CDF library C API routine computeEPOCH.

• To use this function, you must be familiar with the CDF C interface. You can access the CDF documentation at the CDF website.
