Convert an integral timestamp
.Fa ticks
created with

or

into a broken-down GMT representation in
.Fa result .
The filled-in value consists of the
.Va year ,
.Va month ,
.Va day ,
.Va hour ,
.Va minute ,
and
.Va second
fields.
.Pp
.Em Note :
unlike in

the value for
.Va year
is normalised, not less 1900; moreover, the value for
.Va month
is from one, not zero.
.Pp
The
.Nm
function may internally invoke libc's
.Xr gmtime 3 ,
or if available,
.Xr gmtime_r 3 .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
This returns the
.Fa result
pointer on success.
It returns
.Dv NULL
if

cannot be sanely converted or if
.Fa result
is
.Dv NULL .
