FILETIME

The FILETIME data structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601. It is the means by which Win32 determines the date and time. FILETIME is used by the CoDosDateTimeToFileTime, CoFileTimeToDosDateTime, and CoFileTimeNow functions. It is defined as follows:

typedef struct STRUCT tagFILETIME 
{
    DWORD  dwLowDateTime;
    DWORD  dwHighDateTime;
} FILETIME;

Members

dwLowDateTime: The low 32 bits of the Win32 date/time value.
dwHighDateTime: The upper 32 bits of the Win32 date/time value.

Remarks

The FILETIME data structure is used in the time conversion functions between DOS and Win32.
