afai understand, your library should replace "getClockTime" functionality, but it's not obvious what function what function one should use. how i can
1) print difference between two wallclock times in form "Elapsed 3.024 seconds"
do t0 <- getCurrentTime foo t1 <- getCurrentTime putStrLn ("Elapsed " ++ (show (diffUTCTime t1 t0)) ++ " seconds") Of course, this will be off if the clock has had a leap-second step in between.
2) convert CTime (returned by stat() function) to the ClockTime analog and back. May be that is not intended use of your library, but i does it in order to "touch" files and print file's datetime stamp in the human-readable form
import Data.Time.Clock.POSIX type Time_t = Integer fromTimeStamp :: Time_t -> UTCTime fromTimeStamp = posixSecondsToUTCTime . fromInteger toTimeStamp :: UTCTime -> Time_t toTimeStamp = truncate . utcTimeToPOSIXSeconds
at the current moment your library really omits docs. that you have is comments to functions, why docs should be task-oriented
I have some use-cases here: http://semantic.org/TimeLib/TimeLib/time/test/UseCases.lhs -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA WWED? http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/
