+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The \fBASN1_TIME_set()\fR, \fBASN1_UTCTIME_set()\fR and \fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set()\fR
+functions set the structure \fIs\fR to the time represented by the time_t
+value \fIt\fR. If \fIs\fR is NULL a new time structure is allocated and returned.
+.PP
+The \fBASN1_TIME_adj()\fR, \fBASN1_UTCTIME_adj()\fR and \fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_adj()\fR
+functions set the time structure \fIs\fR to the time represented
+by the time \fIoffset_day\fR and \fIoffset_sec\fR after the time_t value \fIt\fR.
+The values of \fIoffset_day\fR or \fIoffset_sec\fR can be negative to set a
+time before \fIt\fR. The \fIoffset_sec\fR value can also exceed the number of
+seconds in a day. If \fIs\fR is NULL a new structure is allocated
+and returned.
+.PP
+The \fBASN1_TIME_set_string()\fR, \fBASN1_UTCTIME_set_string()\fR and
+\&\fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()\fR functions set the time structure \fIs\fR
+to the time represented by string \fIstr\fR which must be in appropriate ASN.1
+time format (for example YYMMDDHHMMSSZ or YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ). If \fIs\fR is NULL
+this function performs a format check on \fIstr\fR only. The string \fIstr\fR
+is copied into \fIs\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBASN1_TIME_set_string_X509()\fR sets \fBASN1_TIME\fR structure \fIs\fR to the time
+represented by string \fIstr\fR which must be in appropriate time format
+that RFC 5280 requires, which means it only allows YYMMDDHHMMSSZ and
+YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ (leap second is rejected), all other ASN.1 time format
+are not allowed. If \fIs\fR is NULL this function performs a format check
+on \fIstr\fR only.
+.PP
+The \fBASN1_TIME_normalize()\fR function converts an \fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME\fR or
+\&\fBASN1_UTCTIME\fR into a time value that can be used in a certificate. It
+should be used after the \fBASN1_TIME_set_string()\fR functions and before
+\&\fBASN1_TIME_print()\fR functions to get consistent (i.e. GMT) results.
+.PP
+The \fBASN1_TIME_check()\fR, \fBASN1_UTCTIME_check()\fR and \fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check()\fR
+functions check the syntax of the time structure \fIs\fR.
+.PP
+The \fBASN1_TIME_print()\fR, \fBASN1_UTCTIME_print()\fR and \fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_print()\fR
+functions print the time structure \fIs\fR to BIO \fIb\fR in human readable
+format. It will be of the format MMM DD HH:MM:SS[.s*] YYYY GMT, for example
+"Feb 3 00:55:52 2015 GMT", which does not include a newline.
+If the time structure has invalid format it prints out "Bad time value" and
+returns an error. The output for generalized time may include a fractional part
+following the second.
+.PP
+\&\fBASN1_TIME_print_ex()\fR provides \fIflags\fR to specify the output format of the
+datetime. This can be either \fBASN1_DTFLGS_RFC822\fR or \fBASN1_DTFLGS_ISO8601\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBASN1_TIME_to_tm()\fR converts the time \fIs\fR to the standard \fItm\fR structure.
+If \fIs\fR is NULL, then the current time is converted. The output time is GMT.
+The \fItm_sec\fR, \fItm_min\fR, \fItm_hour\fR, \fItm_mday\fR, \fItm_wday\fR, \fItm_yday\fR,
+\&\fItm_mon\fR and \fItm_year\fR fields of \fItm\fR structure are set to proper values,
+whereas all other fields are set to 0. If \fItm\fR is NULL this function performs
+a format check on \fIs\fR only. If \fIs\fR is in Generalized format with fractional
+seconds, e.g. YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.SSSZ, the fractional seconds will be lost while
+converting \fIs\fR to \fItm\fR structure.
+.PP
+\&\fBASN1_TIME_diff()\fR sets \fI*pday\fR and \fI*psec\fR to the time difference between
+\&\fIfrom\fR and \fIto\fR. If \fIto\fR represents a time later than \fIfrom\fR then
+one or both (depending on the time difference) of \fI*pday\fR and \fI*psec\fR
+will be positive. If \fIto\fR represents a time earlier than \fIfrom\fR then
+one or both of \fI*pday\fR and \fI*psec\fR will be negative. If \fIto\fR and \fIfrom\fR
+represent the same time then \fI*pday\fR and \fI*psec\fR will both be zero.
+If both \fI*pday\fR and \fI*psec\fR are nonzero they will always have the same
+sign. The value of \fI*psec\fR will always be less than the number of seconds
+in a day. If \fIfrom\fR or \fIto\fR is NULL the current time is used.
+.PP
+The \fBASN1_TIME_cmp_time_t()\fR and \fBASN1_UTCTIME_cmp_time_t()\fR functions compare
+the two times represented by the time structure \fIs\fR and the time_t \fIt\fR.
+.PP
+The \fBASN1_TIME_compare()\fR function compares the two times represented by the
+time structures \fIa\fR and \fIb\fR.
+.PP
+The \fBASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()\fR function converts an \fBASN1_TIME\fR to an
+\&\fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME\fR, regardless of year. If either \fIout\fR or
+\&\fI*out\fR are NULL, then a new object is allocated and must be freed after use.
+.PP
+The \fBASN1_TIME_dup()\fR, \fBASN1_UTCTIME_dup()\fR and \fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_dup()\fR functions
+duplicate the time structure \fIt\fR and return the duplicated result
+correspondingly.
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+The \fBASN1_TIME\fR structure corresponds to the ASN.1 structure \fBTime\fR
+defined in RFC5280 et al. The time setting functions obey the rules outlined
+in RFC5280: if the date can be represented by UTCTime it is used, else
+GeneralizedTime is used.
+.PP
+The \fBASN1_TIME\fR, \fBASN1_UTCTIME\fR and \fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME\fR structures are
+represented as an \fBASN1_STRING\fR internally and can be freed up using
+\&\fBASN1_STRING_free()\fR.
+.PP
+The \fBASN1_TIME\fR structure can represent years from 0000 to 9999 but no attempt
+is made to correct ancient calendar changes (for example from Julian to
+Gregorian calendars).
+.PP
+\&\fBASN1_UTCTIME\fR is limited to a year range of 1950 through 2049.
+.PP
+Some applications add offset times directly to a time_t value and pass the
+results to \fBASN1_TIME_set()\fR (or equivalent). This can cause problems as the
+time_t value can overflow on some systems resulting in unexpected results.
+New applications should use \fBASN1_TIME_adj()\fR instead and pass the offset value
+in the \fIoffset_sec\fR and \fIoffset_day\fR parameters instead of directly
+manipulating a time_t value.
+.PP
+\&\fBASN1_TIME_adj()\fR may change the type from \fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME\fR to
+\&\fBASN1_UTCTIME\fR, or vice versa, based on the resulting year.
+\&\fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_adj()\fR and \fBASN1_UTCTIME_adj()\fR will not modify the type
+of the return structure.
+.PP
+It is recommended that functions starting with \fBASN1_TIME\fR be used instead of
+those starting with \fBASN1_UTCTIME\fR or \fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME\fR. The functions
+starting with \fBASN1_UTCTIME\fR and \fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME\fR act only on that
+specific time format. The functions starting with \fBASN1_TIME\fR will operate on
+either format.
+.PP
+Users familiar with RFC822 should note that when specifying the flag
+\&\fBASN1_DTFLGS_RFC822\fR the year will be formatted as documented above,
+i.e., using 4 digits, not 2 as specified in RFC822.
+.SH BUGS
+.IX Header "BUGS"
+\&\fBASN1_TIME_print()\fR, \fBASN1_UTCTIME_print()\fR and \fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_print()\fR do
+not print out the timezone: it either prints out "GMT" or nothing. But all
+certificates complying with RFC5280 et al use GMT anyway.
+.PP
+\&\fBASN1_TIME_print()\fR, \fBASN1_TIME_print_ex()\fR, \fBASN1_UTCTIME_print()\fR and
+\&\fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_print()\fR do not distinguish if they fail because
+of an I/O error or invalid time format.
+.PP
+Use the \fBASN1_TIME_normalize()\fR function to normalize the time value before
+printing to get GMT results.
