Description

POSIX time, if you need to deal with timestamps and the like. Most people won't need this module.

Synopsis

- posixDayLength :: NominalDiffTime
- type POSIXTime = NominalDiffTime
- posixSecondsToUTCTime :: POSIXTime -> UTCTime
- utcTimeToPOSIXSeconds :: UTCTime -> POSIXTime
- getPOSIXTime :: IO POSIXTime

posixDayLength :: NominalDiffTime Source

86400 nominal seconds in every day

type POSIXTime = NominalDiffTime Source

POSIX time is the nominal time since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC

To convert from a `CTime` or `EpochTime`, use `realToFrac`.

posixSecondsToUTCTime :: POSIXTime -> UTCTime Source

utcTimeToPOSIXSeconds :: UTCTime -> POSIXTime Source

getPOSIXTime :: IO POSIXTime Source

Get the current POSIX time from the system clock.
