-1 means "less than", 0 means "equal", 1 means "greater than", and other values should not be returned

val min : t ‑> t ‑> t
val max : t ‑> t ‑> t
val ascending : t ‑> t ‑> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~cmp:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t ‑> t ‑> int
val between : t ‑> low:t ‑> high:t ‑> bool
val clamp_exn : t ‑> min:t ‑> max:t ‑> t

clamp_exn t ~min ~max returns t', the closest value to t such that between t' ~low:min ~high:max is true.

Raises if not (min <= max).

type t
val pp : Caml.Format.formatter ‑> t ‑> unit
val find : string ‑> t option

find name looks up a t by its name and returns it. This also accepts some aliases, including:

val find_exn : string ‑> t
val local : t Core__.Import.Lazy.t

local is the machine's local timezone, as determined from the TZ environment variable or the /etc/localtime file. It is computed from the state of the process environment and on-disk tzdata database at some unspecified moment prior to its first use, so its value may be unpredictable if that state changes during program operation. Arguably, changing the timezone of a running program is a problematic operation anyway -- most people write code assuming the clock doesn't suddenly jump several hours without warning.

Note that any function using this timezone can throw an exception if the TZ environment variable is misconfigured or if the appropriate timezone files can't be found because of the way the box is configured. We don't sprinkle _exn all over all the names in this module because such misconfiguration is quite rare.

val likely_machine_zones : string list Core__.Import.ref

likely_machine_zones is a list of zone names that will be searched first when trying to determine the machine zone of a box. Setting this to a likely set of zones for your application will speed the very first use of the local timezone.

val of_utc_offset : hours:int ‑> t

of_utc_offset offset returns a timezone with a static UTC offset (given in hours).

val utc : t

utc the UTC time zone. Included for convenience

val abbreviation : t ‑> Time.t ‑> string

abbreviation zone t returns t abbreviation name such as EDT, EST, JST of given zone at the time t. This string conversion is one-way only, and cannot reliably be turned back into a t

val initialized_zones : unit ‑> (string * t) list

initialized_zones () returns a sorted list of time zone names that have been loaded from disk thus far.

Low-level functions

The functions below are lower level and should be used more rarely.

val init : unit ‑> unit

init () pre-load all available time zones from disk, this function has no effect if it is called multiple times. Time zones will otherwise be loaded at need from the disk on the first call to find/find_exn.
