Function date_convert - convert date formats
Syntax boolean date_convert(void *source, void *dest,
int stype, int dtype);
Prototype in dateadv.h
Remarks date_convert will convert a date from virtually any
date format to any other. The parameters *source
and *dest must be pointers pointing to a piece of
memory allocated as the proper data type. stype and
dtype determine the format of source and dest.
Due to the great number of formats supported, a
chart of valid date formats is provided in Appendix
B.
Limited error checking is done on passed data. If
an invalid date format is passed, unpredictable
results will occur.
Return value returns TRUE is the conversion was successful and
FALSE if the date could not be converted.
Note This function does NO function calls except for
isleapyear(). I've tried to optimize this function
as much as possible for speed, not size. If you
only need to convert between, say, Calendar and
Julian dates, you may be better off using the
functions listed in datehk.h.
