module Date_and_ofday : sig ... end

Equivalent to a Date.t and an Ofday.t with no time zone. A Date_and_ofday.t does not correspond to a single, unambiguous point in time.

val next_multiple : ?can_equal_after:Base.Bool.t -> base:t -> after:t -> interval:Base.Float.t -> Base.Unit.t -> t

next_multiple ~base ~after ~interval returns the smallest time of the form:

time = base + k * interval

where k >= 0 and time > after. It is an error if interval <= 0.

Supplying ~can_equal_after:true allows the result to satisfy time >= after.

val prev_multiple : ?can_equal_before:Base.Bool.t -> base:t -> before:t -> interval:Base.Float.t -> Base.Unit.t -> t

prev_multiple ~base ~before ~interval returns the largest time of the form:

time = base + k * interval

where k >= 0 and time < before. It is an error if interval <= 0.

Supplying ~can_equal_before:true allows the result to satisfy time <= before.

val now : Base.Unit.t -> t

now () returns a t representing the current time

Basic operations on times
val add : t -> Core__.Time_float0.Span.t -> t

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.

val sub : t -> Core__.Time_float0.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 -> Core__.Time_float0.Span.t

diff t1 t2 returns time t1 minus time t2.

val abs_diff : t -> t -> Core__.Time_float0.Span.t

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

val quickcheck_generator : t Base_quickcheck.Generator.t
val quickcheck_observer : t Base_quickcheck.Observer.t
val quickcheck_shrinker : t Base_quickcheck.Shrinker.t
val gen_incl : t -> t -> t Base_quickcheck.Generator.t

gen_incl lower_bound upper_bound produces values between lower_bound and upper_bound, inclusive. It uses an ad hoc distribution that stresses boundary conditions more often than a uniform distribution, while still able to produce any value in the range. Raises if lower_bound > upper_bound.

val gen_uniform_incl : t -> t -> t Base_quickcheck.Generator.t

gen_uniform_incl lower_bound upper_bound produces a generator for values uniformly distributed between lower_bound and upper_bound, inclusive. Raises if lower_bound > upper_bound.

Conversions
val of_date_ofday : zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Core__.Date0.t -> Core__.Time_float0.Ofday.t -> t
val of_date_ofday_precise : Core__.Date0.t -> Core__.Time_float0.Ofday.t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> [ `Once of t | `Twice of t * t | `Never of t ]

Because timezone offsets change throughout the year (clocks go forward or back) some local times can occur twice or not at all. In the case that they occur twice, this function gives `Twice with both occurrences in order; if they do not occur at all, this function gives `Never with the time at which the local clock skips over the desired time of day.

Note that this is really only intended to work with DST transitions and not unusual or dramatic changes, like the calendar change in 1752 (run "cal 9 1752" in a shell to see). In particular it makes the assumption that midnight of each day is unambiguous.

Most callers should use of_date_ofday rather than this function. In the `Twice and `Never cases, of_date_ofday will return reasonable times for most uses.

val to_date_ofday : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Core__.Date0.t * Core__.Time_float0.Ofday.t
val to_date_ofday_precise : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Core__.Date0.t * Core__.Time_float0.Ofday.t * [ `Only | `Also_at of t | `Also_skipped of Core__.Date0.t * Core__.Time_float0.Ofday.t ]

Always returns the Date.t * Ofday.t that to_date_ofday would have returned, and in addition returns a variant indicating whether the time is associated with a time zone transition.

      - `Only         -> there is a one-to-one mapping between [t]'s and
                         [Date.t * Ofday.t] pairs
      - `Also_at      -> there is another [t] that maps to the same [Date.t * Ofday.t]
                         (this date/time pair happened twice because the clock fell back)
      - `Also_skipped -> there is another [Date.t * Ofday.t] pair that never happened (due
                         to a jump forward) that [of_date_ofday] would map to the same
                         [t].
val to_date : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Core__.Date0.t
val to_ofday : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Core__.Time_float0.Ofday.t
val reset_date_cache : Base.Unit.t -> Base.Unit.t

For performance testing only; reset_date_cache () resets an internal cache used to speed up to_date and related functions when called repeatedly on times that fall within the same day.

Unlike Time_ns, this module purposely omits max_value and min_value: 1. They produce unintuitive corner cases because most people's mental models of time do not include +/- infinity as concrete values 2. In practice, when people ask for these values, it is for questionable uses, e.g., as null values to use in place of explicit options.

val epoch : t

midnight, Jan 1, 1970 in UTC

val convert : from_tz:Core__.Zone.t -> to_tz:Core__.Zone.t -> Core__.Date0.t -> Core__.Time_float0.Ofday.t -> Core__.Date0.t * Core__.Time_float0.Ofday.t

It's unspecified what happens if the given date/ofday/zone correspond to more than one date/ofday pair in the other zone.

val utc_offset : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Core__.Time_float0.Span.t
Other string conversions

The {to,of}_string functions in Time convert to UTC time, because a local time zone is not necessarily available. They are generous in what they will read in.

val to_filename_string : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

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

val of_filename_string : Base.String.t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> t

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

val to_string_abs : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

to_string_abs ~zone t is the same as to_string t except that it uses the given time zone.

val to_string_abs_trimmed : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

to_string_abs_trimmed is the same as to_string_abs, but drops trailing seconds and milliseconds if they are 0.

val to_string_abs_parts : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t Base.List.t
val to_string_trimmed : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

Same as to_string_abs_trimmed, except it leaves off the timezone, so won't reliably round trip.

val to_sec_string : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

Same as to_string_abs, but without milliseconds and the timezone

val to_sec_string_with_zone : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

Same as to_sec_string but includes timezone

val of_localized_string : zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t -> 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 of_string_gen : default_zone:(Base.Unit.t -> Core__.Zone.t) -> find_zone:(Base.String.t -> Core__.Zone.t) -> Base.String.t -> t

of_string_gen ~default_zone ~find_zone s attempts to parse s as a t, calling out to default_zone and find_zone as needed.

val to_string_iso8601_basic : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

to_string_iso8601_basic return a string representation of the following form: %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%s%Z e.g. to_string_iso8601_basic ~zone:Time.Zone.utc epoch = "1970-01-01T00:00:00.000000Z"

val occurrence : [ `First_after_or_at | `Last_before_or_at ] -> t -> ofday:Core__.Time_float0.Ofday.t -> zone:Core__.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 of_string_with_utc_offset : Base.String.t -> t

of_string_with_utc_offset requires its input to have an explicit UTC offset, e.g. 2000-01-01 12:34:56.789012-23, or use the UTC zone, "Z", e.g. 2000-01-01 12:34:56.789012Z.

val to_string_utc : t -> Base.String.t

to_string_utc generates a time string with the UTC zone, "Z", e.g. 2000-01-01 12:34:56.789012Z.
