Ah, see, there is where we seem to differ. OP indicated retrieved was
in human form and did not want to have to convert it into seconds.
At that point, you could be right, or I am right in that the OP did
not want to do a bunch of calendar math to generate the seconds since epoch.

Had the OP asked for the include .h files needed for accessing the
partition's last checked field, the thread would have a whole lot less
shell commands.  :-D
