The `timelocal()` function performs the inverse operation of `localtime()` by taking a broken-down date and time dictionary and transforming it into an epoch value according to the local system timezone. -- Testcase -- {% // check expected epoch let d1 = { "sec": 42, "min": 51, "hour": 13, "mday": 22, "mon": 3, "year": 2022, "wday": 2, "yday": 81, "isdst": 0 }; // check that out of range values are normalized let d2 = { "sec": 33, "min": 22, "hour": 11, "mday": 40, "mon": 10, "year": 2022, "wday": 2, "yday": 81, "isdst": 0 }; // check that everything except mday, mon, year is optional let d3 = { "mday": 1, "mon": 1, "year": 2000 }; printf("%.J\n", [ timelocal(d1), timelocal(d2), timelocal(d3) ]); %} -- End -- -- Vars -- TZ=CET-1CEST,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3 -- End -- -- Expect stdout -- [ 1647953502, 1667989353, 946681200 ] -- End --
