Modules

Timex

Module for working with dates

Date formatting and parsing

Date formatting language used by default by the DateFormat module

Date formatting language defined by the strftime function from the Standard C Library

Handles formatting timestamp values as ISO 8601 durations as described below

Handles formatting timestamp values as human readable strings. For formatting timestamps as points in time rather than intervals, use DateFormat

This is the base plugin behavior for all Timex date/time string parsers

Defines the API for a custom tokenizer which can extend Timex's datetime parsing facilities

Implements the parser for the default DateTime format strings

Implements the parser for strftime-style datetime format strings

This module is responsible for parsing binary zoneinfo files, such as those found in /usr/local/zoneinfo

Represents the data retreived from a binary tzfile. For details on the tzfile format, see:

This module provides a friendly API for working with Erlang timestamps, i.e. {megasecs, secs, microsecs}. In addition, it provides an easy way to wrap the measurement of function execution time (via measure)

This module is used for looking up the timezone information for a given point in time, in the desired zone. Timezones are dependent not only on locale, but the date and time for which you are querying. For instance, the timezone offset from UTC for Europe/Moscow is different for March 3rd of 2015, than it was in 2013. These differences are important, and as such, all functions in this module are date/time sensitive, and where omitted, the current date/time are assumed

This module is not really intended for use outside of Timex, but it provides a way to map Olson timezone names to Windows timezone names, and vice versa

This module is responsible for determining the timezone configuration of the local machine. It determines this from a number of sources, depending on platform, but the order of precedence is as follows:

All relevant timezone information for a given period, i.e. Europe/Moscow on March 3rd, 2013

Exceptions

Used for errors encountered during date formatting

Thrown when an error occurs with formatting an Interval

Used for errors encountered during date parsing
