Name

mktime

Synopsis

mktime(tupletime)

Accepts an instant expressed as a nine-item tuple in local time and returns a floating-point value with the instant expressed in seconds since the epoch. DST, the last item in tupletime, is meaningful: set it to 0 to get solar time, to 1 to get Daylight Saving Time, or to -1 to let mktime compute whether DST is in effect or not at the given instant.
