 * @brief Utilities supporting operation on time data structures.

 * POSIX defines gmtime() to convert from time_t to struct tm, but all
 * inverse transformations are non-standard or require access to time
 * zone information.  timeutil_timegm() implements the functionality
 * of the GNU extension timegm() function, but changes the error value
 * as @c EOVERFLOW is not a standard C error identifier.
 *
 * timeutil_timegm64() is provided to support full precision
 * conversion on platforms where @c time_t is limited to 32 bits.
