Synopsis

Time zones

data TimeZone

A TimeZone is a whole number of minutes offset from UTC, together with a name and a "just for summer" flag.

Constructors

TimeZone 

Fields

timeZoneMinutes :: Int

The number of minutes offset from UTC. Positive means local time will be later in the day than UTC.

timeZoneSummerOnly :: Bool

Is this time zone just persisting for the summer?

timeZoneName :: String

The name of the zone, typically a three- or four-letter acronym.

timeZoneOffsetString :: TimeZone -> String

Text representing the offset of this timezone, such as "-0800" or "+0400" (like %z in formatTime)

timeZoneOffsetString' :: NumericPadOption -> TimeZone -> String

Text representing the offset of this timezone, such as "-0800" or "+0400" (like %z in formatTime), with arbitrary padding

minutesToTimeZone :: Int -> TimeZone

Create a nameless non-summer timezone for this number of minutes

hoursToTimeZone :: Int -> TimeZone

Create a nameless non-summer timezone for this number of hours

utc :: TimeZone

The UTC time zone

getTimeZone :: UTCTime -> IO TimeZone

Get the local time-zone for a given time (varying as per summertime adjustments)

getCurrentTimeZone :: IO TimeZone

Get the current time-zone

Time of day

data TimeOfDay

Time of day as represented in hour, minute and second (with picoseconds), typically used to express local time of day.

Constructors

TimeOfDay 

Fields

todHour :: Int

range 0 - 23

todMin :: Int

range 0 - 59

todSec :: Pico

Note that 0 <= todSec < 61, accomodating leap seconds. Any local minute may have a leap second, since leap seconds happen in all zones simultaneously

midnight :: TimeOfDay

Hour zero

midday :: TimeOfDay

Hour twelve

utcToLocalTimeOfDay :: TimeZone -> TimeOfDay -> (Integer, TimeOfDay)

Convert a ToD in UTC to a ToD in some timezone, together with a day adjustment.

localToUTCTimeOfDay :: TimeZone -> TimeOfDay -> (Integer, TimeOfDay)

Convert a ToD in some timezone to a ToD in UTC, together with a day adjustment.

timeToTimeOfDay :: DiffTime -> TimeOfDay

Get a TimeOfDay given a time since midnight. Time more than 24h will be converted to leap-seconds.

timeOfDayToTime :: TimeOfDay -> DiffTime

Find out how much time since midnight a given TimeOfDay is.

dayFractionToTimeOfDay :: Rational -> TimeOfDay

Get a TimeOfDay given the fraction of a day since midnight.

timeOfDayToDayFraction :: TimeOfDay -> Rational

Get the fraction of a day since midnight given a TimeOfDay.

Local Time

data LocalTime

A simple day and time aggregate, where the day is of the specified parameter, and the time is a TimeOfDay. Conversion of this (as local civil time) to UTC depends on the time zone. Conversion of this (as local mean time) to UT1 depends on the longitude.

Constructors

LocalTime 

utcToLocalTime :: TimeZone -> UTCTime -> LocalTime

show a UTC time in a given time zone as a LocalTime

localTimeToUTC :: TimeZone -> LocalTime -> UTCTime

find out what UTC time a given LocalTime in a given time zone is

ut1ToLocalTime :: Rational -> UniversalTime -> LocalTime

1st arg is observation meridian in degrees, positive is East

localTimeToUT1 :: Rational -> LocalTime -> UniversalTime

1st arg is observation meridian in degrees, positive is East

data ZonedTime

A local time together with a TimeZone.
