Re: [Haskell-cafe] Getting the number of seconds since epoch from System.Time.ClockTime

In System.Time,

data ClockTime = TOD Integer Integer

, where the first integer represents the number of seconds since epoch, and the other represents the number of picoseconds. Is there a way of retrieving the first part? (In Haskell 98, the ClockTime type is abstract).

I usually pattern match the constructor: do { TOD epoch _ <- getClockTime ; putStrLn $ "epoch is " ++ show epoch } -- Rich AIM : rnezzy ICQ : 174908475 Jabber: rich@neswold.homeunix.net
