Time

Time is an abstraction of dates and times. Time is stored internally as the number of seconds and nanoseconds since the Epoch, January 1, 1970 00:00 UTC. On some operating systems, this offset is allowed to be negative. Also see the library modules Date. The Time class treats GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)[Yes, UTC really does stand for Coordinated Universal Time. There was a committee involved.] as equivalent. GMT is the older way of referring to these baseline times but persists in the names of calls on POSIX systems.

All times are stored with some number of nanoseconds. Be aware of this fact when comparing times with each other—times that are apparently equal when displayed may be different when compared.

Public Class Methods

_load(string) => time click to toggle source

Unmarshal a dumped Time object.

 
               static VALUE

at(time) => time click to toggle source
at(seconds_with_frac) => time
at(seconds, microseconds_with_frac) => time

Creates a new time object with the value given by time, the given number of seconds_with_frac, or seconds and microseconds_with_frac from the Epoch. seconds_with_frac and microseconds_with_frac can be Integer, Float, Rational, or other Numeric. non-portable feature allows the offset to be negative on some systems.

Creates a time based on given values, interpreted as UTC (GMT). The year must be specified. Other values default to the minimum value for that field (and may be nil or omitted). Months may be specified by numbers from 1 to 12, or by the three-letter English month names. Hours are specified on a 24-hour clock (0..23). Raises an ArgumentError if any values are out of range. Will also accept ten arguments in the order output by Time#to_a. sec_with_frac and usec_with_frac can have a fractional part.
