Module Time

module Time: Time

module Ofday: sig .. end

module Span: sig .. end

module Zone: module type of Zone  with type t = Zone.t

type t = Time_internal.T.t

A fully qualified point in time, independent of timezone.

The {to,of}_string functions in Time will produce times with time zone indications, but are generous in what they will read in. String/Sexp.t representations without time zone indications are assumed to be in the machine's local zone.

values

val epoch : t

Basic operations on times

val add : t -> Span.t -> t

add t s adds the span s to time t and returns the resulting time.

val sub : t -> Span.t -> t

sub t s subtracts the span s from time t and returns the resulting time. See important note for add.

val diff : t -> t -> Span.t

diff t1 t2 returns time t1 minus time t2.

val abs_diff : t -> t -> Span.t

abs_diff t1 t2 returns the absolute span of time t1 minus time t2.

Constants

Conversions

All these conversion functions use the current time zone. Unless marked _utc, in which case they use Universal Coordinated Time

val of_date_ofday : Zone.t -> Date0.t -> Ofday.t -> t

val to_date_ofday : t -> Zone.t -> Date0.t * Ofday.t

val to_date : t -> Zone.t -> Date0.t

val to_ofday : t -> Zone.t -> Ofday.t

val of_local_date_ofday : Date0.t -> Ofday.t -> t

val to_local_date_ofday : t -> Date0.t * Ofday.t

val to_local_date : t -> Date0.t

val to_local_ofday : t -> Ofday.t

val convert : from_tz:Zone.t ->
       to_tz:Zone.t -> Date0.t -> Ofday.t -> Date0.t * Ofday.t

val utc_offset : ?zone:Zone.t -> t -> Span.t

Other string conversions

val to_filename_string : t -> string

to_filename_string t converts t to string with format YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.mmm which is suitable for using in filenames

val of_filename_string : string -> t

of_filename_string s converts s that has format YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.mmm into time

val to_string_fix_proto : [ `Local | `Utc ] -> t -> string

val of_string_fix_proto : [ `Local | `Utc ] -> string -> t

val to_string_trimmed : t -> string

to_string_trimmed t Same as to_string, but removes trailing seconds and milliseconds if they are 0

val to_sec_string : t -> string

to_sec_string t Same as to_string, but without milliseconds

val of_localized_string : Zone.t -> string -> t

of_localized_string zone str read in the given string assuming that it represents a time in zone and return the appropriate Time.t

val to_string_abs : ?zone:Zone.t -> t -> string

to_string_abs ?zone t returns a string that represents an absolute time, rather than a local time with an assumed time zone. This string can be round-tripped, even on a machine in a different time zone than the machine that wrote the string.

The string will display the date and of-day of zone together with zone as an offset from UTC. The zone argument defaults to the machine's timezone.

val of_string_abs : string -> t

of_string_abs s is like of_string, but demands that s indicate the timezone the time is expressed in.

val t_of_sexp_abs : Core_kernel.Std.Sexp.t -> t

t_of_sexp_abs sexp as t_of_sexp, but demands that sexp indicate the timezone the time is expressed in.

Miscellaneous

val now : unit -> t

Returns the current time.

val pause : Span.t -> unit

pause span sleeps for span time.

val interruptible_pause : Span.t -> [ `Ok | `Remaining of Span.t ]

interruptible_pause span sleeps for span time unless interrupted (e.g. by delivery of a signal), in which case the remaining unslept portion of time is returned.

val pause_forever : unit -> Core_kernel.Std.never_returns

pause_forever sleeps indefinitely.

val occurrence : [ `First_after_or_at | `Last_before_or_at ] ->
       t -> ofday:Ofday.t -> zone:Zone.t -> t

occurrence side time ~ofday ~zone returns a Time.t that is the occurrence of ofday (in the given zone) that is the latest occurrence (<=) time or the earliest occurrence (>=) time, according to side.

NOTE: If the given time converted to wall clock time in the given zone is equal to ofday then the t returned will be equal to the t given.

val format : t -> string -> string

format t fmt formats the given time according to fmt, which follows the formatting rules given in 'man strftime'. The time is output in the local timezone.

val to_epoch : t -> float

to_epoch t returns the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 in UTC

val next_multiple : base:t -> after:t -> interval:Span.t -> t

values

Basic operations on times

add t s adds the span s to time t and returns the resulting time.

NOTE: adding spans as a means of adding days is not accurate, and may run into trouble due to shifts in daylight savings time, float arithmetic issues, and leap seconds. See the comment at the top of Zone.mli for a more complete discussion of some of the issues of time-keeping. For spans that cross date boundaries, use date functions instead.

sub t s subtracts the span s from time t and returns the resulting time. See important note for add.

diff t1 t2 returns time t1 minus time t2.

abs_diff t1 t2 returns the absolute span of time t1 minus time t2.
