Im trying to convert a time structure to a FAT timestamp. My code looks like:
unsigned long Fat(tm_struct pTime)
{
unsigned long FatTime = 0;
FatTime |= (pTime.seconds / 2) >> 1;
FatTime |= (pTime.minutes) << 5;
FatTime |= (pTime.hours) << 11;
FatTime |= (pTime.days) << 16;
FatTime |= (pTime.months) << 21;
FatTime |= (pTime.years + 20) << 25;
return FatTime;
}
Does someone have the correct code?
The DOS date/time format is a bitmask:
24 16 8 0
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|Y|Y|Y|Y|Y|Y|Y|M| |M|M|M|D|D|D|D|D| |h|h|h|h|h|m|m|m| |m|m|m|s|s|s|s|s|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
\___________/\________/\_________/ \________/\____________/\_________/
year month day hour minute second
The year is stored as an offset from 1980.
Seconds are stored in two-second increments.
(So if the "second" value is 15, it actually represents 30 seconds.)
I dont know the tm_struct you are using but if it's http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ctime/tm/ then
unsigned long FatTime = ((pTime.tm_year - 80) << 25) |
((pTime.tm_mon + 1) << 21) |
(pTime.tm_mday << 16) |
(pTime.tm_hour << 11) |
(pTime.tm_min << 5) |
(pTime.tm_sec >> 1);
Edit: I added the +1 in month as mentioned in the comments
