Convert Windows Filetime to second in Unix/Linux

by

it’s quite simple: the windows epoch starts 1601-01-01T00:00:00Z. It’s 11644473600 seconds before the UNIX/Linux epoch (1970-01-01T00:00:00Z). The Windows ticks are in 100 nanoseconds. Thus, a function to get seconds from the UNIX epoch will be as follows:

#define WINDOWS_TICK 10000000
#define SEC_TO_UNIX_EPOCH 11644473600LL

unsigned WindowsTickToUnixSeconds(long long windowsTicks)
{
     return (unsigned)(windowsTicks / WINDOWS_TICK - SEC_TO_UNIX_EPOCH);
}
