GetRtc Function

Description

Reads the current time from:

>a Sentinel HL Time key

>a Sentinel HL NetTime key

>a Sentinel HL (Driverless configuration) key that supports V-Clock

(The function works for a Sentinel SL key, but reads the time from the computer's clock.)

                hasp_handle_t handle,
                hasp_time_t * time
                )

Usage Notes

Primarily used to obtain reliable timestamps that are independent of the system clock. Time values are returned as the number of seconds that have elapsed since Jan.-01-1970 0:00 hours UTC. Use the  HaspTimeToDateTime function to convert the output to UTC format. This function reads the Sentinel protection key time, not the expiration date time.
