The time library provides functions for determining the time and manipulating time values. KRE tries to determine the user's location and creates a time object that is localized for the user (i.e., in the user's time zone). The following functions are available:

  • time:now().time:now() returns  – returns the current date and time based upon the user's location data.
  • time:new().time:new() returns  – returns a new RFC 3339 datetime string from a string formatted as described in ISO8601 (v2000).
  • time:add(). time.add() adds  – adds (or subtracts) a specific number of time units to a source string.

  • time:strftime().time:strftime() returns  – returns a datetime string in a specified format following POSIX strftime conventions.
  • time:atom(). time.atom() converts  – converts a datetime string to an ATOM compatible form.
  • time:compare().time:compare() takes  – takes two datetime strings (ISO8601) and returns 1, 0, or [ms]1, depending on whether the first is before, the same, or after the second.
