time

Convenience functions for the handling of time stamps.

In getML, time stamps are always expressed as a floating point value. This float measures the number of seconds since UNIX time (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00). Smaller units of time are expressed as fractions of a second.

To make this a bit easier to handle, this module contains simple convenience functions that express other time units in terms of seconds.

Functions

datetime(year, month, day[, hour, minute, ...])	Returns the number of seconds since UNIX time (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00).
days(num)	Expresses num days in terms of seconds.
hours(num)	Expresses num hours in terms of seconds.
microseconds(num)	Expresses num microseconds in terms of fractions of a second.
milliseconds(num)	Expresses num milliseconds in terms of fractions of a second.
minutes(num)	Expresses num minutes in terms of seconds.
seconds(num)	Transforms num into a float64.
weeks(num)	Expresses num weeks in terms of seconds.
