time functions

[bill stennett]

Hi All

Can anyone tell me if there is their a function for converting the time
string produced by localtime i.e. (day, month, date, HH, MM, SS, year) into
the number of seconds since the EPOCH.

I would like to compare the data in a log file with the current value
returned by the system "time" function.

Many thanks

Bill
