Usage

The mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function is the LO-status accessor function that returns the last-modification time from a set of status information. The last-modification time includes changes to user data (writes to the smart large object) only. The resolution of the time that the mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function returns is number of seconds since January 1, 1970.

Important: Before you call mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec(), you must initialize an LO-
status structure with the mi_lo_stat() function.

The mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function obtains the last-modification time from the LO-status structure that LO_stat references.

Return Values

>=0
The number of seconds since January 1, 1970 for the last-modification time of the smart large object whose status information is in the LO-status structure that LO_stat references.

MI_ERROR
The function was not successful.
