Clock times
Time differences
Calendar times
Description
The standard Time library, providing standard functionality for clock times, including timezone information (i.e, the functionality of "time.h", adapted to the Haskell environment). It follows RFC 1129 in its use of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Clock times
data ClockTime
A representation of the internal clock time. Clock times may be compared, converted to strings, or converted to an external calendar time CalendarTime for I/O or other manipulations.
Constructors
TOD Integer Integer

Construct a clock time. The arguments are a number of seconds since 00:00:00 (UTC) on 1 January 1970, and an additional number of picoseconds.

In Haskell 98, the ClockTime type is abstract.

show/hide Instances
getClockTime :: IO ClockTime
returns the current time in its internal representation.
Time differences
data TimeDiff
records the difference between two clock times in a user-readable way.
Constructors
TimeDiff
tdYear :: Int
tdMonth :: Int
tdDay :: Int
tdHour :: Int
tdMin :: Int
tdSec :: Int
tdPicosec :: Integer
show/hide Instances
noTimeDiff :: TimeDiff
null time difference.
diffClockTimes :: ClockTime -> ClockTime -> TimeDiff
diffClockTimes t1 t2 returns the difference between two clock times t1 and t2 as a TimeDiff.
addToClockTime :: TimeDiff -> ClockTime -> ClockTime
addToClockTime d t adds a time difference d and a clock time t to yield a new clock time. The difference d may be either positive or negative.
normalizeTimeDiff :: TimeDiff -> TimeDiff
converts a time difference to normal form.
timeDiffToString :: TimeDiff -> String
formats time differences using local conventions.
formatTimeDiff :: TimeLocale -> String -> TimeDiff -> String
formats time differences using local conventions and a formatting string. The formatting string is that understood by the ISO C strftime() function.
Calendar times
data CalendarTime
CalendarTime is a user-readable and manipulable representation of the internal ClockTime type.
Constructors
CalendarTime
ctYear :: IntYear (pre-Gregorian dates are inaccurate)
ctMonth :: MonthMonth of the year
ctDay :: IntDay of the month (1 to 31)
ctHour :: IntHour of the day (0 to 23)
ctMin :: IntMinutes (0 to 59)
ctSec :: IntSeconds (0 to 61, allowing for up to two leap seconds)
ctPicosec :: IntegerPicoseconds
ctWDay :: DayDay of the week
ctYDay :: IntDay of the year (0 to 364, or 365 in leap years)
ctTZName :: StringName of the time zone
ctTZ :: IntVariation from UTC in seconds
ctIsDST :: BoolTrue if Daylight Savings Time would be in effect, and False otherwise

toCalendarTime :: ClockTime -> IO CalendarTime
converts an internal clock time to a local time, modified by the timezone and daylight savings time settings in force at the time of conversion. Because of this dependence on the local environment, toCalendarTime is in the IO monad.
toUTCTime :: ClockTime -> CalendarTime
converts an internal clock time into a CalendarTime in standard UTC format.
toClockTime :: CalendarTime -> ClockTime
converts a CalendarTime into the corresponding internal ClockTime, ignoring the contents of the ctWDay, ctYDay, ctTZName and ctIsDST fields.
calendarTimeToString :: CalendarTime -> String
formats calendar times using local conventions.
formatCalendarTime :: TimeLocale -> String -> CalendarTime -> String
formats calendar times using local conventions and a formatting string. The formatting string is that understood by the ISO C strftime() function.
