Functions:-Code shared between low-level and
high-level interfaces. Most of them do exactly what they say on the
tin.
Notes based on code as of Mon Apr 5 21:38:06 2010 -0400.
void gps_clear_fix(struct gps_fix_t *fixp)
Stuff a fix structure with recognizable out-of-band values.
unsigned int gps_valid_fields(struct gps_fix_t *fixp)
Clears certain status flags, depending if the associated fields are invalid.
double timestamp(void)
Returns the number of seconds and microseconds since the UNIX Epoch (00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970); i.e. a unique value which can be used to timestamp any event.
time_t mkgmtime(register struct tm *t)
Convert a struct tm {} (see time.h) to seconds since UNIX Epoch.
double iso8601_to_unix(char *isotime)
Convert an ISO8601 UTC string (like 2006-01-25T13:15:22.9) to Unix UTC.
char *unix_to_iso8601(double fixtime, char isotime[], int len)
Reverse of the above, no timezone adjustment.
double gpstime_to_unix(int week, double tow)
Convert gps time to UNIX time, allowing for the gps week number rollover.
void unix_to_gpstime(double unixtime, int *week, double *tow)
Reverse of the above.
static double CalcRad(double lat)
Return the earth's radius of curvature in meters at specified latitude.
double earth_distance(double lat1, double lon1, double lat2, double lon2)
Return the distance in meters between two points specified in degrees.
static int invert(double mat[4][4], double inverse[4][4])
Try and invert an array. If it is possible, fill the inverted array and return a 1. Return a 0 if it is not possible.
gps_mask_t dop(struct gps_data_t *gpsdata)
Take a gps data structure and try to calculate the DOP values from the other data in it. Return 0 if it is not possible or update the appropriate DOP fields in the structure and set a mask which tells which fields were updated.
