NAME
       plbtime - Calculate broken-down time from continuous time for the current stream


SYNOPSIS
       plbtime(year, month, day, hour, min, sec, ctime)


DESCRIPTION
       Calculate broken-down time; year, month, day, hour, min, sec; from continuous time, ctime for the current
       stream.  This function is the inverse of plctime(3plplot).

       The  PLplot  definition  of  broken-down  time  is  a calendar time that completely ignores all time zone
       offsets, i.e., it is the user's responsibility to apply those offsets (if so desired)  before  using  the
       PLplot  time  API.  By default broken-down time is defined using the proleptic Gregorian calendar without
       the insertion of leap seconds and continuous time is defined as the number  of  seconds  since  the  Unix
       epoch  of  1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.  However,  other  definitions  of  broken-down  and  continuous time are
       possible, see plconfigtime(3plplot).

       Redacted form: General: plbtime(year, month, day, hour, min, sec, ctime) Perl/PDL: Not available?

       This function is used in example 29.


ARGUMENTS
       year (PLINT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output)
              Returned value of years with positive values corresponding to CE (i.e., 1 = 1 CE, etc.)  and  non-
              negative values corresponding to BCE (e.g., 0 = 1 BCE, -1 = 2 BCE, etc.)

       month (PLINT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output)
              Returned value of month within the year in the range from 0 (January) to 11 (December).

       day (PLINT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output)
              Returned value of day within the month in the range from 1 to 31.

       hour (PLINT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output)
              Returned value of hour within the day in the range from 0 to 23.

       min (PLINT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output)
              Returned value of minute within the hour in the range from 0 to 59

       sec (PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output)
              Returned value of second within the minute in range from 0. to 60.

       ctime (PLFLT(3plplot), input)
              Continuous time from which the broken-down time is calculated.
