Time<ToolKit>
Benefits
|
 |
Time<ToolKit> provides the
following benefits.
- Range - Older
implementations of time use a 32-bit range for the internal representation
of times and dates. Using a 64-bit range, you can represent times and dates
from 4713 b.c. to 32766 a.d.
- Precision - Time<ToolKit>
provides precision to the microsecond. Older libraries are accurate only to
the second.
- Internationalization - The
time and date interfaces in Time<ToolKit> provide complete support of
time zone functionality and provide a subset of predefined time zones and daylight savings
time rules as listed in the
os_time_zone API. Users can
represent times and create custom time zones anywhere in the world. The string
conversion interfaces use the locale interfaces of the operating system to
produce time and date strings in native languages and formats.
- Extensible time zone
rules - Time<ToolKit> contains extensible time zone rules,
providing easy adaptation to changes in regional policies.
- Complete abstractions - Time<ToolKit>
contains a complete set of time and date abstractions, including time of
day, date, time and date, and time period. Older libraries provide only time
and date, and date, ignoring the need for abstractions covering time
periods, or covering time of day independent from date.
