Remarks

It is not recommended that you add and subtract values from the SYSTEMTIME structure to obtain relative times. Instead, you should

• Convert the SYSTEMTIME structure to a FILETIME structure.

• Copy the resulting FILETIME structure to a LARGE_INTEGER structure.

• Use normal 64-bit arithmetic on the LARGE_INTEGER value.
