Epoch

1 declaration
classclass Epoch epoch where
#

A type class promising epoch-related functionality. (Epochs, in this context, are fixed points in time.)

Methods

  • epochName :: epoch -> String

    The name of the epoch.

  • epochDiffToUnix :: epoch -> Seconds

    The epoch relative to the Unix epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC), in non-leap seconds. A negative number means the epoch is before the Unix epoch.
