58 Both functions take a broken-down time and convert it to calendar time
59 (seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000, UTC).
60 The difference between the two functions is that
62 takes the local timezone into account when doing the conversion, while
64 takes the input value to be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
67 these functions return the calendar time (seconds since the Epoch),
68 expressed as a value of type
70 On error, they return the value
74 to indicate the error.
78 The result cannot be represented.
