SDK - format of cdTime type...

[caunt]

Hello folks,
I'm using sdk6 with Delphi (which is unsupported, but includes most needed files). The trouble is, I can't figure out the format they are using for date/time.
(eg. in cdIMG_PROP_CAPTURE_TIME)
The base format is an unsigned 32bit integer, but HOW does canon format this into a date/time?

For example, I know that 1058764840 represents
20 Jul 2003 21:20:42, but how do I get from the integer to the date?

None of the date/time formats I've tried works correctly! (I've tried about 8).

In Addition, since I also know that
1058821650 = 21 Jul 2003 13:07:31 and
1058821658 = 21 Jul 2003 13:07:40
I'm guessing that the first 5 digits deal with day and the last 5 with time. Can someone please help me out with the rest ?

Ok, if anyone else reads this, here's the answer:

Canon stores time as the number of seconds elapsed since midnight, January 1, 1970...Universal time.

The 8 hours difference in the example in my origional post is because the time is stored as universal time (8 hours ahead of me). It just requires adjustment for time zones!

I even found a university site that described the format Canon is (apparently) using rather succintly:

type time_t is defined to be a long integer (i.e. long int). A variable of this type will hold the number of seconds (after a call to function time - discussed below) since midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970, coordinated universal time, according to the system clock

Now why couldn't Canon mention this?

The time format is the same as Unix systems time variable.

check the man pages for unix time systems calls, and you will see the description.
