Time._load(string) => time

Unmarshal a dumped Time object.

    return time;
}
Time.at( aTime ) => time Time.at( seconds [, microseconds] ) => time

Creates a new time object with the value given by aTime, or the given number of seconds (and optional microseconds) from epoch. A non-portable feature allows the offset to be negative on some systems.

   Time.at(0)            #=> Wed Dec 31 18:00:00 CST 1969
   Time.at(946702800)    #=> Fri Dec 31 23:00:00 CST 1999

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.

   Time.utc(2000,"jan",1,20,15,1)  #=> Sat Jan 01 20:15:01 UTC 2000

}
httpdate(date)

Parses date as HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616 and converts it to a Time object.

ArgumentError is raised if date is not compliant with RFC 2616 or Time class cannot represent specified date.

Time.new → time

Document-method: now

Synonym for Time.new. Returns a Time object initialized tot he current system time.

Returns a Time object initialized to the current system time. Note: The object created will be created using the resolution available on your system clock, and so may include fractional seconds.

   a = Time.new      #=> Wed Apr 09 08:56:03 CDT 2003
   b = Time.new      #=> Wed Apr 09 08:56:03 CDT 2003

   "%.6f" % a.to_f   #=> "1049896563.230740"
   "%.6f" % b.to_f   #=> "1049896563.231466"

Time.new → time

Synonym for Time.new. Returns a Time object initialized tot he current system time.

Returns a Time object initialized to the current system time. Note: The object created will be created using the resolution available on your system clock, and so may include fractional seconds.

   a = Time.new      #=> Wed Apr 09 08:56:03 CDT 2003
   b = Time.new      #=> Wed Apr 09 08:56:03 CDT 2003
   a == b            #=> false
   "%.6f" % a.to_f   #=> "1049896563.230740"
   "%.6f" % b.to_f   #=> "1049896563.231466"
parse(date, now=self.now)

Parses date using Date._parse and converts it to a Time object.

If a block is given, the year described in date is converted by the block. For example:

    Time.parse(...) {|y| y < 100 ? (y >= 69 ? y + 1900 : y + 2000) : y}

If the upper components of the given time are broken or missing, they are supplied with those of now. For the lower components, the minimum values (1 or 0) are assumed if broken or missing. For example:

    # Suppose it is "Thu Nov 29 14:33:20 GMT 2001" now and
    # your timezone is GMT:
    Time.parse("16:30")     #=> Thu Nov 29 16:30:00 GMT 2001
    Time.parse("7/23")      #=> Mon Jul 23 00:00:00 GMT 2001
    Time.parse("Aug 31")    #=> Fri Aug 31 00:00:00 GMT 2001

Since there are numerous conflicts among locally defined timezone abbreviations all over the world, this method is not made to understand all of them. For example, the abbreviation “CST” is used variously as:

    -06:00 in America/Chicago,
    -05:00 in America/Havana,
    +08:00 in Asia/Harbin,
    +09:30 in Australia/Darwin,
    +10:30 in Australia/Adelaide,
    etc.

Based on the fact, this method only understands the timezone abbreviations described in RFC 822 and the system timezone, in the order named. (i.e. a definition in RFC 822 overrides the system timezone definition.) The system timezone is taken from Time.local(year, 1, 1).zone and Time.local(year, 7, 1).zone. If the extracted timezone abbreviation does not match any of them, it is ignored and the given time is regarded as a local time.

ArgumentError is raised if Date._parse cannot extract information from date or Time class cannot represent specified date.

This method can be used as fail-safe for other parsing methods as:

  Time.rfc2822(date) rescue Time.parse(date)
  Time.httpdate(date) rescue Time.parse(date)
  Time.xmlschema(date) rescue Time.parse(date)

A failure for Time.parse should be checked, though.

240:       d = Date._parse(date, false)

244:     end
rfc2822(date)

Parses date as date-time defined by RFC 2822 and converts it to a Time object. The format is identical to the date format defined by RFC 822 and updated by RFC 1123.

ArgumentError is raised if date is not compliant with RFC 2822 or Time class cannot represent specified date.

          starting with the first Sunday as the first
          day of the first week (00..53)

xmlschema(fraction_digits=0)

Returns a string which represents the time as dateTime defined by XML Schema:

where TZD is Z or [+-]hh:mm.

If self is a UTC time, Z is used as TZD. [+-]hh:mm is used otherwise.

fractional_seconds specifies a number of digits of fractional seconds. Its default value is 0.

This method is also aliased as iso8601 iso8601
