[flow-tools] Start time and end time of the processed raw data

[Annie Tong]

Hi Mark,

I'm trying to add the duration of the processed raw data in the header 
of the report that is generated by flow-stat in the following format,

"Processed <number of flows> flows between <Day> <Month> <Date> <Year> 
<Time> and <Day> <Month> <Date> <Year> <Time>"

e.g.
"Processed 20000 flows between Fri Apr 12 2002 00:00:00 and Fri Apr 12 
2002 09:59:59"

I'm looking at your code flow-stat.c and found 2 variables, 
fs0.time_start and fs0.time_end, which stores the start_time and the 
end_time of the processed raw data, and they're in unsigned integer. 
 Can I use the function localtime() to convert them in the format I 
want?  Also where did you get the start_time and end_time of the 
processed data?  Are they stored in the packet as $startime and $endtime 
(found the reference from Cflow.pm)?

Thank you!
