package calendar

  1. Overview
  2. Docs

Calendar implementation in which seconds are float.

This module uses float. Then results may be very unprecise, especially comparison of calendars which differ with few seconds. In this case, consider to use module Precise.

  • since 2.0
include Calendar_sig.S with module Date = Date and module Time = Ftime

Datatypes

module Date = Date

Date implementation used by this calendar.

module Time = Ftime

Time implementation used by this calendar.

    (*

    *)
type year = Date.year

Year as an int

type second = Time.second
type field = [
  1. | Date.field
  2. | Time.field
]

The different fields of a calendar.

Constructors

val make : int -> int -> int -> int -> int -> second -> t

make year month day hour minute second makes the calendar "year-month-day; hour-minute-second".

  • raises D.Out_of_bounds

    when a date is outside the Julian period.

  • raises D.Undefined

    when a date belongs to [October 5th, 1582; October 14th, 1582].

val lmake : year:int -> ?month:int -> ?day:int -> ?hour:int -> ?minute:int -> ?second:second -> unit -> t

Labelled version of make. The default value of month and day (resp. of hour, minute and second) is 1 (resp. 0).

  • raises D.Out_of_bounds

    when a date is outside the Julian period.

  • raises D.Undefined

    when a date belongs to [October 5th, 1582; October 14th, 1582].

  • since 1.05
val create : Date.t -> Time.t -> t

create d t creates a calendar from the given date and time.

val now : unit -> t

now () returns the current date and time (in the current time zone).

val from_jd : float -> t

Return the Julian day. More precise than Date.from_jd: the fractional part represents the time.

val from_mjd : float -> t

Return the Modified Julian day. It is Julian day - 2 400 000.5 (more precise than Date.from_mjd).

Conversions

Those functions have the same behaviour as those defined in Time_sig.S.

val convert : t -> Time_Zone.t -> Time_Zone.t -> t
val to_gmt : t -> t
val from_gmt : t -> t

Getters

Those functions have the same behavious as those defined in Date_sig.S.

val days_in_month : t -> int
val day_of_week : t -> day
val day_of_month : t -> int
val day_of_year : t -> int
val week : t -> int
val month : t -> month
val year : t -> int

to_jd and to_mjd are more precise than Date_sig.S.to_jd and Date_sig.S.to_mjd.

val to_jd : t -> float
val to_mjd : t -> float

Those functions have the same behavious as those defined in Time_sig.S.

val hour : t -> int
val minute : t -> int
val second : t -> second

Calendars are comparable

val equal : t -> t -> bool

Equality function between two calendars.

val compare : t -> t -> int

Comparison function between two calendars.

val hash : t -> int

Hash function for calendars.

  • since 2.0

Those functions have the same behavious as those defined in Date_sig.S.

val is_leap_day : t -> bool
val is_gregorian : t -> bool
val is_julian : t -> bool

Those functions have the same behavious as those defined in Time_sig.S.

val is_pm : t -> bool
val is_am : t -> bool

Coercions

val to_unixtm : t -> Unix.tm

Convert a calendar into the unix.tm type. The field isdst is always false. More precise than Date_sig.S.to_unixtm.

  • since 1.01
val from_unixtm : Unix.tm -> t

Inverse of to_unixtm. Assumes the current time zone. So, The following invariant holds: hour (from_unixtm u) = u.Unix.tm_hour.

  • since 1.01
val to_unixfloat : t -> float

Convert a calendar to a float such than to_unixfloat (make 1970 1 1 0 0 0) returns 0.0 at UTC. So such a float is convertible with those of the module Unix. More precise than Date_sig.S.to_unixfloat.

  • since 1.01
val from_unixfloat : float -> t

Inverse of to_unixfloat. Assumes the current time zone. So, the following invariant holds: hour (from_unixfloat u) = (Unix.gmtime u).Unix.tm_hour.

  • since 1.01
val from_date : Date.t -> t

Convert a date to a calendar. The time is midnight in the current time zone.

val to_date : t -> Date.t

Convert a calendar to a date. Time part of the calendar is ignored.

val to_time : t -> Time.t

Convert a calendar to a time. Date part of the calendar is ignored.

  • since 1.03

Period

module Period : sig ... end

A period is the number of seconds between two calendars.

Arithmetic operations on calendars and periods

Those functions have the same behavious as those defined in Date_sig.S.

val add : t -> 'a Period.period -> t
val sub : t -> t -> [> `Week | `Day ] Period.period
val precise_sub : t -> t -> Period.t
  • since 2.03
val rem : t -> 'a Period.period -> t
val next : t -> field -> t
val prev : t -> field -> t
module Precise : Calendar_sig.S with module Date = Date and module Time = Ftime

More precise implementation of calendar in which seconds are float.
