Module Core.Time_float
Source
include Bin_prot.Binable.S with type t := t
include Bin_prot.Binable.S_only_functions with type t := t
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.
include Ppx_compare_lib.Comparable.S with type t := t
include Comparable.Comparisons with type t := t
include Base.Comparisons.Infix with type t := t
include Comparable.S_common
with type t := t
and module Replace_polymorphic_compare := Replace_polymorphic_compare
include Base.Comparable.S with type t := t
include Base.Comparisons.S with type t := t
compare t1 t2
returns 0 if t1
is equal to t2
, a negative integer if t1
is less than t2
, and a positive integer if t1
is greater than t2
.
ascending
is identical to compare
. descending x y = ascending y x
. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~compare:ascending
and List.sort ~cmp:descending
, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.
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)
.
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
.
now ()
returns a t
representing the current time
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
.
include Quickcheck.S_range with type t := 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
.
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
.

val of_date_ofday_precise :
Core__.Date0.t ->
Base.Float.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_precise :
t ->
zone:Core__.Zone.t ->
Core__.Date0.t
* Base.Float.t
* [ `Only | `Also_at of t | `Also_skipped of Core__.Date0.t * Base.Float.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].
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 convert :
from_tz:Core__.Zone.t ->
to_tz:Core__.Zone.t ->
Core__.Date0.t ->
Base.Float.t ->
Core__.Date0.t * Base.Float.t
It's unspecified what happens if the given date/ofday/zone correspond to more than one date/ofday pair in the other zone.
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.
include Interfaces.Stringable with type t := 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.
of_filename_string s ~zone
converts s
that has format YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.mmm into time.
to_string_abs ~zone t
is the same as to_string t
except that it uses the given time zone.
to_string_abs_trimmed
is the same as to_string_abs
, but drops trailing seconds and milliseconds if they are 0.
Same as to_string_abs_trimmed
, except it leaves off the timezone, so won't reliably round trip.
Same as to_string_abs
, but without milliseconds and the timezone. May raise if zone
offsets move the apparent value beyond min_value_representable
and max_value_representable
.
Same as to_sec_string
but includes timezone
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.
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:Base.Float.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.
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
.
to_string_utc
generates a time string with the UTC zone, "Z", e.g. 2000-01-01 12:34:56.789012Z
.
