Time
Implements the extensions to the Time class that are described in the documentation for the time.rb library.

Public Class Methods
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.
See httpdate for more information on this format.
time library should be required to use this method as follows.

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| 0 <= 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: now = Time.parse("Thu Nov 29 14:33:20 GMT 2001") Time.parse("16:30", now) #=> 2001-11-29 16:30:00 +0900 Time.parse("7/23", now) #=> 2001-07-23 00:00:00 +0900 Time.parse("Aug 31", now) #=> 2001-08-31 00:00:00 +0900 Time.parse("Aug 2000", now) #=> 2000-08-01 00:00:00 +0900
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 ::parse should be checked, though.
time library should be required to use this method as follows.
require 'time'
# File time.rb, line 263
def parse(date, now=self.now)
comp = !block_given?
d = Date._parse(date, comp)
if !d[:year] && !d[:mon] && !d[:mday] && !d[:hour] && !d[:min] && !d[:sec] && !d[:sec_fraction]
raise ArgumentError, "no time information in #{date.inspect}"
end
year = d[:year]
year = yield(year) if year && !comp
make_time(year, d[:mon], d[:mday], d[:hour], d[:min], d[:sec], d[:sec_fraction], d[:zone], now)
end
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.
See rfc2822 for more information on this format.

Parses date using Date._strptime 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.strptime(...) {|y| y < 100 ? (y >= 69 ? y + 1900 : y + 2000) : y}
# File time.rb, line 281
def strptime(date, format, now=self.now)

if seconds = d[:seconds]

year = yield(year) if year && block_given?
make_time(year, d[:mon], d[:mday], d[:hour], d[:min], d[:sec], d[:sec_fraction], d[:zone], now)

end
Parses date as dateTime defined by XML Schema and converts it
to a Time object. The format is restricted version
of the format defined by ISO 8601.
ArgumentError is raised if date is not compliant with the
format or Time class cannot represent specified
date.

Public Instance Methods
Returns a string which represents the time as rfc1123-date of HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616:
day-of-week, DD month-name CCYY hh:mm:ss GMT
Note that the result is always UTC (GMT).
time library should be required to use this method as follows.
require 'time'
# File time.rb, line 501
def httpdate
t = dup.utc
sprintf('%s, %02d %s %0*d %02d:%02d:%02d GMT',
RFC2822_DAY_NAME[t.wday],
t.day, RFC2822_MONTH_NAME[t.mon-1], t.year < 0 ? 5 : 4, t.year,
t.hour, t.min, t.sec)
end
Returns a string which represents the time as date-time defined by RFC 2822:
day-of-week, DD month-name CCYY hh:mm:ss zone
where zone is [+-]hhmm.
If self is a UTC time, -0000 is used as zone.
time library should be required to use this method as follows.
require 'time'
# File time.rb, line 466
def rfc2822
sprintf('%s, %02d %s %0*d %02d:%02d:%02d ',
RFC2822_DAY_NAME[wday],

else
off = utc_offset
sign = off < 0 ? '-' : '+'
sprintf('%s%02d%02d', sign, *(off.abs / 60).divmod(60))
end
end
Returns a string which represents the time as dateTime defined by XML Schema:
CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssTZD
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.
time library should be required to use this method as follows.
require 'time'
# File time.rb, line 527
def xmlschema(fraction_digits=0)
sprintf('%0*d-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d:%02d',
year < 0 ? 5 : 4, year, mon, day, hour, min, sec) +
