-<h1>Year 2038 considerations for uses of krb5_timestamp<a class="headerlink" href="#year-2038-considerations-for-uses-of-krb5-timestamp" title="Link to this heading">ΒΆ</a></h1>
-<p>POSIX time values, which measure the number of seconds since January 1
-1970, will exceed the maximum value representable in a signed 32-bit
-integer in January 2038. This documentation describes considerations
-for consumers of the MIT krb5 libraries.</p>
-<p>Applications or libraries which use libkrb5 and consume the timestamps
-included in credentials or other structures make use of the
-<a class="reference internal" href="refs/types/krb5_timestamp.html#c.krb5_timestamp" title="krb5_timestamp"><code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">krb5_timestamp</span></code></a> type. For historical reasons, krb5_timestamp
-is a signed 32-bit integer, even on platforms where a larger type is
-natively used to represent time values. To behave properly for time
-values after January 2038, calling code should cast krb5_timestamp
-values to uint32_t, and then to time_t:</p>
-<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">time_t</span><span class="p">)(</span><span class="n">uint32_t</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="n">timestamp</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>Used in this way, krb5_timestamp values can represent time values up
-until February 2106, provided that the platform uses a 64-bit or
-larger time_t type. This usage will also remain safe if a later
-version of MIT krb5 changes krb5_timestamp to an unsigned 32-bit
-integer.</p>
-<p>The GSSAPI only uses representations of time intervals, not absolute
-times. Callers of the GSSAPI should require no changes to behave
-correctly after January 2038, provided that they use MIT krb5 release
-1.16 or later.</p>
