Documentation

posixDayLength :: NominalDiffTime Source #

86400 nominal seconds in every day

type POSIXTime = NominalDiffTime Source #

POSIX time is the nominal time since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC

To convert from a CTime or EpochTime, use realToFrac.

posixSecondsToUTCTime :: POSIXTime -> UTCTime Source #

utcTimeToPOSIXSeconds :: UTCTime -> POSIXTime Source #

getPOSIXTime :: IO POSIXTime Source #

Get the current POSIX time from the system clock.

getCurrentTime :: IO UTCTime Source #

Get the current UTCTime from the system clock.

systemToPOSIXTime :: SystemTime -> POSIXTime Source #
