Date	kDATE_NULL

A series of functions are included within core to work with dates.

date_system ()

Get the system date.

Date
date_system(void);

Return

The current date.

date_pack ()

Pack a date.

Date
date_pack(const int16_t year,
          const uint8_t month,
          const uint8_t mday,
          const uint8_t hour,
          const uint8_t minute,
          const uint8_t second);

year	Year.
month	Month number (1,12).
mday	Day of the month (1,31).
hour	Hour (0,23).
minute	Minute (0,59).
second	Second (0,59).

Date
date_add_seconds(const Date *date,
                 int32_t seconds);

date	The base date.
seconds	The number of seconds. If it is positive we will obtain a future date. If negative, a past date.

from	Start date.
