NAME
     CDatotime - convert ASCII string to timecode

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <dmedia/cdaudio.h>

     int CDatotime(struct cdtimecode* tc, const char* s)

PARAMETERS
     tc   A pointer to the struct cdtimecode in which to place the result.

     s    A pointer to the ASCII string to be converted.  The string pointed
          at by s must be at least 11 bytes long not counting the terminating
          null.

RETURNED VALUE
     CDatotime(3dm) returns non-zero if the string represents a valid timecode
     otherwise it returns zero.

DESCRIPTION
     CDatotime(3dm) converts an ASCII string of the form

              "00:00:00"


     representing a CD time code into a struct cdtimecode which is defined as
     follows in cdaudio.h :

              struct cdtimecode {
                  unchar mhi:4, mlo:4;
                  unchar shi:4, slo:4;
                  unchar fhi:4, flo:4;
              };


     Minutes, seconds and frame number are each represented by 2 BCD digits.
     Any of the following separators may be used in the string: :-/#|,.;*
     CDatotime(3dm) sets as many values as there are fields in the string,
     starting with the minutes value, up to the maximum of three.  Values
     corresponding to unsupplied fields are set to zero.
