Time​

function set​

Sets the system time to timestamp seconds since unix epoch.

function time​

time()

Returns a float where the integer part is the seconds and the fractional part are microseconds since unix epoch.

function now​

now()

Returns an integer with seconds since unix epoch.

function is_sync​

is_sync()

Return True if the system time has been synchronized since system (re)start. False otherwise.

function last_sync​

last_sync()

Returns the seconds elapsed since last sync.

function time_ns​

time_ns()

Returns a float where the integer part is the seconds and the fractional part are nanoseconds since unix epoch.

function millis​

millis()

Returns the milliseconds elapsed since system (re)start.

function settime​

settime(ti)

Sets the system date and time to ti TimeInfo object.

function localtime​

localtime()

Returns a TimeInfo object with current system date and time.

function gmtime​

gmtime(secs)

Converts an UNIX EPOCH TIME (secs) and returns tuple with the following format: (year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, week_day, year_day)

function mktime​

mktime(t_tup)

Convers a time tuple and returns a UNIX EPOCH TIME. The tuple should have the following format: (year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, week_day, year_day).

*** note ***: week_day, year_day are not necessary on the tuple to make this function work.

class TimeInfo​

TimeInfo()

Class used to store a broken-down time value (as in struct tm) as defined by POSIX.1-2001.

method to_tuple​

to_tuple()

Returns a tuple with the broken-down time elements.

method from_tuple​

from_tuple(t)

Sets the object time to the t broken-down time tuple.

method get_unix​

get_unix()

Returns the UNIX EPOCH TIME of the current time.

  1. year
  2. month
  3. month day
  4. hour
  5. minutes
  6. seconds
  7. week day
  8. year day
  9. whether it is daylight saving time: True, or not: False
  10. whether the Greenwich Mean Time if off: True, or not: False
  11. seconds since epoch
  12. microseconds since epoch
