val gen_incl : t -> t -> t Base_quickcheck.Generator.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.

val gen_uniform_incl : t -> t -> t Base_quickcheck.Generator.t

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.

Conversions
val of_date_ofday : zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Core__.Date0.t -> Core.Time_ns.Ofday.t -> t
val of_date_ofday_precise : Core__.Date0.t -> Core.Time_ns.Ofday.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 : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Core__.Date0.t * Core.Time_ns.Ofday.t
val to_date_ofday_precise : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Core__.Date0.t * Core.Time_ns.Ofday.t * [ `Only | `Also_at of t | `Also_skipped of Core__.Date0.t * Core.Time_ns.Ofday.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].
val to_date : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Core__.Date0.t
val to_ofday : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Core.Time_ns.Ofday.t
val reset_date_cache : Base.Unit.t -> Base.Unit.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 -> Core.Time_ns.Ofday.t -> Core__.Date0.t * Core.Time_ns.Ofday.t

It's unspecified what happens if the given date/ofday/zone correspond to more than one date/ofday pair in the other zone.

val utc_offset : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Core.Time_ns.Span.t
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 Core.Interfaces.Stringable with type t := t
val to_filename_string : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.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.

val of_filename_string : Base.String.t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> t

of_filename_string s ~zone converts s that has format YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.mmm into time.

val to_string_abs : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

to_string_abs ~zone t is the same as to_string t except that it uses the given time zone.

val to_string_abs_trimmed : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

to_string_abs_trimmed is the same as to_string_abs, but drops trailing seconds and milliseconds if they are 0.

val to_string_abs_parts : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t Base.List.t
val to_string_trimmed : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

Same as to_string_abs_trimmed, except it leaves off the timezone, so won't reliably round trip.

val to_sec_string : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

Same as to_string_abs, but without milliseconds and the timezone

val to_sec_string_with_zone : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

Same as to_sec_string but includes timezone

val of_localized_string : zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t -> t

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 to_string_iso8601_basic : t -> zone:Core__.Zone.t -> Base.String.t

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:Core.Time_ns.Ofday.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.

val of_string_with_utc_offset : Base.String.t -> t

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.

val to_string_utc : t -> Base.String.t

to_string_utc generates a time string with the UTC zone, "Z", e.g. 2000-01-01 12:34:56.789012Z.

val epoch : t

Unix epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC)

val min_value_representable : t

The minimum representable time.

val max_value_representable : t

The maximum representable time.

val min_value_for_1us_rounding : t

The minimum time that rounds to a Time.t with microsecond precision.

val max_value_for_1us_rounding : t

The maximum time that rounds to a Time.t with microsecond precision.

val min_value : t

An alias for min_value_for_1us_rounding.

  • deprecated [since 2019-02] use [min_value_representable] or [min_value_for_1us_rounding] instead
val max_value : t

An alias for max_value_for_1us_rounding.

  • deprecated [since 2019-02] use [max_value_representable] or [max_value_for_1us_rounding] instead
val now : Base.Unit.t -> t

The current time.

val add : t -> Core.Time_ns.Span.t -> t

overflows silently

val add_saturating : t -> Core.Time_ns.Span.t -> t

As add; rather than over/underflowing, clamps the result to the closed interval between min_value_representable and max_value_representable.

val sub_saturating : t -> Core.Time_ns.Span.t -> t

As sub; rather than over/underflowing, clamps the result to the closed interval between min_value_representable and max_value_representable.

val sub : t -> Core.Time_ns.Span.t -> t

val to_span_since_epoch : t -> Core.Time_ns.Span.t
val of_span_since_epoch : Core.Time_ns.Span.t -> t
val to_int63_ns_since_epoch : t -> Core.Int63.t
val of_int63_ns_since_epoch : Core.Int63.t -> t
val to_int_ns_since_epoch : t -> Base.Int.t

Will raise on 32-bit platforms. Consider to_int63_ns_since_epoch instead.

val of_int_ns_since_epoch : Base.Int.t -> t
val next_multiple : ?can_equal_after:Base.Bool.t -> base:t -> after:t -> interval:Core.Time_ns.Span.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.

Overflows silently.

val prev_multiple : ?can_equal_before:Base.Bool.t -> base:t -> before:t -> interval:Core.Time_ns.Span.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.

val random : ?state:Base.Random.State.t -> Base.Unit.t -> t
val of_time : Base.Float.t -> t
  • deprecated [since 2019-01] use [of_time_float_round_nearest] or [of_time_float_round_nearest_microsecond]
val to_time : t -> Base.Float.t
  • deprecated [since 2019-01] use [to_time_float_round_nearest] or [to_time_float_round_nearest_microsecond]

*_round_nearest vs *_round_nearest_microsecond: If you don't know that you need microsecond precision, use the *_round_nearest version. *_round_nearest_microsecond is for historical purposes.

val to_time_float_round_nearest : t -> Base.Float.t
val to_time_float_round_nearest_microsecond : t -> Base.Float.t
val of_time_float_round_nearest : Base.Float.t -> t
val of_time_float_round_nearest_microsecond : Base.Float.t -> t
module Utc : sig ... end
module Span : sig ... end
val arg_type : t Core.Command.Arg_type.t
module Option : sig ... end

Option.t is like t option, except that the value is immediate. This module should mainly be used to avoid allocations.

module Ofday : sig ... end

See Time.Ofday.

String conversions use the local timezone by default. Sexp conversions use get_sexp_zone () by default, which can be overridden by calling set_sexp_zone. These default time zones are used when writing a time, and when reading a time with no explicit zone or UTC offset.

Sexps and strings display the date, ofday, and UTC offset of t relative to the appropriate time zone.

val bin_write_t : t Bin_prot.Write.writer
val bin_read_t : t Bin_prot.Read.reader
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 (>=) : t -> t -> bool
val (<=) : t -> t -> bool
val (=) : t -> t -> bool
val (>) : t -> t -> bool
val (<) : t -> t -> bool
val (<>) : t -> t -> bool
val equal : t -> t -> bool
val compare : t -> t -> int

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.

val min : t -> t -> t
val max : t -> t -> t
val ascending : t -> t -> int

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.

val descending : t -> t -> int
val between : t -> low:t -> high:t -> bool

between t ~low ~high means low <= t <= high

val clamp_exn : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t

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).

val t_sexp_grammar : t Sexplib0.Sexp_grammar.t
module Zone : module type of Time_unix.Zone with type t = Time_unix.Zone.t

These functions are identical to those in Time and get/set the same variable.

val get_sexp_zone : unit -> Zone.t
val set_sexp_zone : Zone.t -> unit
val t_of_sexp_abs : Core.Sexp.t -> t

t_of_sexp_abs sexp as t_of_sexp, but demands that sexp indicate the timezone the time is expressed in.

val sexp_of_t_abs : t -> zone:Zone.t -> Core.Sexp.t
val of_date_ofday_zoned : Core.Date.t -> Ofday.Zoned.t -> t

Conversion functions that involved Ofday.Zoned.t, exactly analogous to the conversion functions that involve Ofday.t

val to_date_ofday_zoned : t -> zone:Time_unix.Zone.t -> Core.Date.t * Ofday.Zoned.t
val to_ofday_zoned : t -> zone:Time_unix.Zone.t -> Ofday.Zoned.t
val to_string_fix_proto : [ `Utc | `Local ] -> t -> string
val of_string_fix_proto : [ `Utc | `Local ] -> string -> t
val of_string_abs : string -> t

This is like of_string except that if the string doesn't specify the zone then it raises rather than assume the local timezone.

val of_string_gen : if_no_timezone:[ `Fail | `Local | `Use_this_one of Zone.t ] -> string -> t

of_string_gen ~if_no_timezone s attempts to parse s to a t. If s doesn't supply a time zone if_no_timezone is consulted.

val pause : Span.t -> unit

pause span sleeps for span time.

val interruptible_pause : Span.t -> [ `Ok | `Remaining of Span.t ]

interruptible_pause span sleeps for span time unless interrupted (e.g. by delivery of a signal), in which case the remaining unslept portion of time is returned.

val pause_forever : unit -> Core.never_returns

pause_forever sleeps indefinitely.
