val __bin_read_t__ : (int -> t) Bin_prot.Read.reader

This function only needs implementation if t exposed to be a polymorphic variant. Despite what the type reads, this does *not* produce a function after reading; instead it takes the constructor tag (int) before reading and reads the rest of the variant t afterwards.

val find : string -> t option

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

  • chi -> America/Chicago
  • nyc -> America/New_York
  • hkg -> Asia/Hong_Kong
  • lon -> Europe/London
  • tyo -> Asia/Tokyo
val find_exn : string -> t
val local : t Core.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 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.
