Documentation

This is a Chicken port of SRFI-19. This document only describes the extensions. For the SRFI-19 API see SRFI-19.

Core Procedures

The core procedures are those pertaining to time, date, and timezone:

(import srfi-19-core)

Or separately:

(import srfi-19-time)
(import srfi-19-date)
(import srfi-19-timezone)
(import srfi-19-support)

SRFI-19 Document Changes

The nanosecond time object element is an integer between 0 and 999,999,999 inclusive. (The SRFI-19 document mis-states the value.)

A tz-offset value follows ISO 8601; positive for east of UTC, and negative for west. This is the opposite of the POSIX TZ environment variable.

Where the SRFI-19 document states a tz-offset argument a timezone-components object is also legal; see Timezone

The string->date procedure allows the template-name argument to be optional. When missing the locale's date-time-format string is used. The supplied locale bundle's strings are invertible.

make-date
[procedure] (make-date NANOSECOND SECOND MINUTE HOUR DAY MONTH YEAR [ZONE-OFFSET [TZ-NAME [DST-FLAG]]]) -> date

Same as SRFI-19 except for the optional parameters and allowing a timezone-components object for the ZONE-OFFSET.

The ZONE-OFFSET is an integer or timezone-components. Default is the (timezone-locale-offset), the current locale timezone offset.

The TZ-NAME is a string or #f, and is the timezone name. Default is #f.

The DST-FLAG is a boolean, and indicates whether Day Saving TIme (or Summer Time) is active. Default is #f.

When the ZONE-OFFSET is a timezone-components object the TZ-NAME and DST-FLAG are pulled from the timezone-components, unless explicitly supplied.

read-leap-second-table
[procedure] (read-leap-second-table FILENAME)

Sets the leap second table from the specified FILENAME.

The file format is the same as the "tai-utc.dat" file in the distribution. Provided by the U.S. Naval Observatory.

leap-year?
[procedure] (leap-year? DATE) -> boolean

Does the specified DATE fall on a leap year?

The DATE may be a numeric year or a date object.

SRFI-18 Time

Note that the SRFI-18 identifiers time?, current-time, seconds->time, time->seconds, milliseconds->time, and time->milliseconds are in conflict with those of SRFI-19.

time->srfi-18-time
[procedure] (time->srfi-18-time TIME) -> srfi-18#time

Converts a SRFI-19 time object to a SRFI-18 time object. The conversion is really only meaningful for time-duration, but any time-type is accepted.

srfi-18-time->time
[procedure] (srfi-18-time->time TIME) -> srfi-19#time

Converts a SRFI-18 time object into a SRFI-19 time-duration object.

Time Conversion

time-hash
[procedure] (time-hash TIME #!optional bnd rnd) -> integer

Hash TIME.

time-copy
[procedure] (time-copy TIME) -> time

Returns an exact copy of the specified TIME object.

seconds->time
[procedure] (seconds->time SECONDS [TIME-TYPE time-duration]) -> time

Converts a SECONDS value, may be fractional, into a TIME-TYPE time object.

seconds->date
[procedure] (seconds->date SECONDS [TIMEZONE-INFO #t]) -> date

Converts a SECONDS value, which may be fractional, into a date object. The TIMEZONE-INFO is #t for the local timezone, #f for the utc timezone, or a timezone-components object.

SECONDS is relative to 00:00:00 January 1, 1970 UTC.

time->nanoseconds
[procedure] (time->nanoseconds TIME) -> integer

Returns the TIME object value as a nanoseconds value.

nanoseconds->time
[procedure] (nanoseconds->time NANOSECONDS [TIME-TYPE time-duration]) -> time

Returns the NANOSECONDS value as a time TIME-TYPE object.

nanoseconds->seconds
[procedure] (nanoseconds->seconds NANOSECONDS) -> real

Returns the NANOSECONDS value as a seconds value.

time->milliseconds
[procedure] (time->milliseconds TIME) -> integer

Returns the TIME object value as a milliseconds value.

milliseconds->time
[procedure] (milliseconds->time MILLISECONDS [TIME-TYPE time-duration]) -> time

Returns the MILLISECONDS value as a time TIME-TYPE object.

milliseconds->seconds
[procedure] (milliseconds->seconds MILLISECONDS) -> real

Returns the MILLISECONDS value as a seconds value.

time->date
[procedure] (time->date TIME) -> date

Returns the TIME object value as a date. A shorthand for the (time-*->date...) procedures.

time->julian-day
[procedure] (time->julian-day TIME) -> real

Returns the julian day for the TIME object.

time->modified-julian-day
[procedure] (time->modified-julian-day TIME) -> real

Returns the modified julian day for the TIME object.

monotonic-time
utc-time
tai-time
gc-time
process-time
thread-time
[procedure] (monotonic-time) -> time
[procedure] (utc-time) -> time
[procedure] (tai-time) -> time
[procedure] (gc-time) -> time
[procedure] (process-time) -> time
[procedure] (thread-time) -> time

Return current time for the named time type.

Input/Output Procedures

(import srfi-19-io)

DATE->STRING conversion specifiers

The SRFI-19 document does not mention the padding character override feature for the normally zero-padded conversions f, H, I, j, m, M, N, S, y. If the tilde is followed by a - then padding is suppressed. If followed by a _ the space character is used for padding. Otherwise zero-padding is perfomed, the default.

Notes

Bugs and Limitations

If you are adding hours, minutes, seconds, or milliseconds, the assumption is that you want precision to the hour, and will result in a different hour.

var m = moment(new Date(2011, 2, 12, 5, 0, 0)); // the day before DST in the US
m.hours(); // 5
m.add(24, 'hours').hours(); // 6

but this implementation says 1 day = 24 hours, so same hour.
