Next: Date And Time Library Exports, Up: Date And Time Library [Index]
The time library objects expose a collection of interfaces (functions and symbolic constants) concerned with date and time processing.
Central to the date and time interfaces are the ‘date’ and ‘time’ data types.
Data of the ‘date’ type corresponds calendar dates, defining such specifics as year and month, minute and second.
Data of the ‘time’ type corresponds time offsets (durations). May be negatively defined.
