#
# == Introduction
#
# This library extends the Time class:
# * conversion between date string and time object.
# * date-time defined by RFC 2822
# * HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616
# * dateTime defined by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes (ISO 8601)
# * various formats handled by Date._parse (string to time only)
#
# == Design Issues
#
# === Specialized interface
#
# This library provides methods dedicated to special purposes:
# * RFC 2822, RFC 2616 and XML Schema.
# * They makes usual life easier.
#
# === Doesn't depend on strftime
#
# This library doesn't use +Time#strftime+. Especially #rfc2822 doesn't depend
# on +strftime+ because:
#
# * %a and %b are locale sensitive
#
# Since they are locale sensitive, they may be replaced to
# invalid weekday/month name in some locales.
# Since ruby-1.6 doesn't invoke setlocale by default,
# the problem doesn't arise until some external library invokes setlocale.
# Ruby/GTK is the example of such library.
#
# * %z is not portable
#
# %z is required to generate zone in date-time of RFC 2822
# but it is not portable.
#
# Note that +Time#strftime+ doesn't use +strftime()+ function in libc since Ruby 1.9.
# This means +Time#strftime+ is locale-insensitive since Ruby 1.9.
# The above statements are not valid now.
#
require 'date'
# = time.rb
#
# Implements the extensions to the Time class that are described in the
# documentation for the time.rb library.
# When 'time' is required, Time is extended with additional methods for parsing
# and converting Times.
#
# == Features
#
# This library extends the Time class with the following conversions between
# date strings and Time objects:
#
# * date-time defined by RFC 2822
# * HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616
# * datetime defined by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes (ISO 8601)
# * various formats handled by Date._parse
# * various formats handled by Date._strptime
#
# == Examples
#
# All examples assume you have loaded Time with:
#
# require 'time'
#
# All of these examples were done using the EST timezone which is GMT-5.
#
# === Creating a new Time instance
#
# The easiest way to create a new time object is to use either #parse or
# #strptime. Each uses Date.__parse and Date.__strptime to create a new
# instance of Time.
#
# === Time.parse
#
# #parse takes a string representation of a Time and attempts to parse it
# using a heuristic.
#
# Date.parse("2010-10-31") #=> 2010-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
#
# Any missing pieces of the date are inferred based on the current date.
#
# # assuming the current date is "2011-10-31"
# Time.parse("12:00") #=> 2011-10-31 12:00:00 -0500
#
# We can change the date used to infer our missing elements by passing a second
# object that responds to #mon, #day and #year, such as Date, Time or DateTime.
# We can also use our own object.
#
# class MyDate
# attr_reader :mon, :day, :year
#
# def initialize(mon, day, year)
# @mon, @day, @year = mon, day, year
# end
# end
#
# d = Date.parse("2010-10-28")
# t = Time.parse("2010-10-29")
# dt = DateTime.parse("2010-10-30")
# md = MyDate.new(10,31,2010)
#
# Time.parse("12:00" d) #=> 2010-10-28 12:00:00 -0500
# Time.parse("12:00" t) #=> 2010-10-29 12:00:00 -0500
# Time.parse("12:00" dt) #=> 2010-10-30 12:00:00 -0500
# Time.parse("12:00" md) #=> 2010-10-31 12:00:00 -0500
#
# #parse also accepts an optional block. You can use this block to specify how
# to handle the year component of the date. This is specifically designed for
# handling two digit years. For example, if you wanted to treat all two digit
# years prior to 70 as the year 2000+ you could write this:
#
# Time.parse("01-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)}
# #=> 2001-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
# Time.parse("70-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)}
# #=> 1970-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
#
# === Time.strptime
#
# #strptime works similar to +parse+ except that instead of using a heuristic
# to detect the format of the input string, you provide a second argument that
# is describes the format of the string. For example:
#
# Time.strptime("2000-10-31", "%Y-%m-%d") #=> 2000-10-31 00:00:00 -0500

*
* = Examples
*
* All of these examples were done using the EST timezone which is GMT-5.
*
* == Creating a new Time instance
*
* You can create a new instance of time with Time.new. This will use the
* current system time. Time.now is a synonym for this. You can also
* pass parts of the time to Time.new such as year, month, minute, etc. When
* you want to construct a time this way you must pass at least a year. If you
* pass the year with nothing else time with default to January 1 of that year
* at 00:00:00 with the current system timezone. Here are some examples:
*
* Time.new(2002) #=> 2002-01-01 00:00:00 -0500
* Time.new(2002, 10) #=> 2002-10-01 00:00:00 -0500
* Time.new(2002, 10, 31) #=> 2002-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
* Time.new(2002, 10, 31, 2, 2, 2, "+02:00") #=> 2002-10-31 02:02:02 -0200
*
* You can also use #gm, #local and #utc to infer GMT, local and UTC
* timezones instead of using the current system setting.
*
* You can also create a new time using Time.at which takes the number of
* seconds (or fraction of seconds) since the Unix
* Epoch[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time].
*
* Time.at(628232400) #=> 1989-11-28 00:00:00 -0500
*
* == Working with an instance of Time
*
* Once you have an instance of time there is a multitude of things you can do
* with it. Below are some examples. For all of the following examples, we
* will work on the assumption that you have done the following:
*
* t = Time.new(1993, 02, 24, 12, 0, 0, "+09:00")
*
* Was that a monday?
*
* t.monday? #=> false
*
* What year was that again?
*
* t.year #=> 1993
*
* Was is daylight savings at the time?
*
* t.dst? #=> false
*
* What's the day a year later?
*
* t + (60*60*24*365) #=> 1994-02-24 12:00:00 +0900
*
* How many second was that from the Unix Epoc?
*
* t.to_i #=> 730522800
*
* You can also do standard functions like compare two times.
*
* t1 = Time.new(2010)
* t2 = Time.new(2011)
*
* t1 == t2 #=> false
* t1 == t1 #=> true
* t1 < t2 #=> true
* t1 > t2 #=> false
*
* Time.new(2010,10,31).between?(t1, t2) #=> true
