Struct utc2k::LocalOffset

pub struct LocalOffset { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate feature local only.

Local Offset.

This struct attempts to determine the appropriate UTC offset for the local timezone in a thread-safe manner.

This currently only works for unix systems. For everybody else, it will act as if there is no local offset (i.e. as if it were UTC).

Examples

To obtain the current local offset, use LocalOffset::now.

To obtain the local offset for a specific unix timestamp, use its From<u32> implementation instead.

use utc2k::LocalOffset;

// The current offset.
let now = LocalOffset::now();

// The offset for a specific time.
let then = LocalOffset::from(946_684_800_u32);

If all you want is the offset, you can grab that by calling LocalOffset::offset afterward.

This struct can, however, also be used to trick FmtUtc2k and Utc2k into representing local rather than UTC datetimes by using their From<LocalOffset> implementations, or the FmtUtc2k::now_local/Utc2k::now_local shorthands.

If you do this, however, it is worth noting that comparing tricked and untricked objects makes no logical sense, so you shouldn’t mix-and-match if you need to test for equality or ordering.

Additionally, you should avoid localizing a datetime if you plan on using the to_rfc2822 or to_rfc3339 formatting helpers. They always assume they’re representing a UTC timestamp, so will add the wrong suffix to their output if your local offset is non-zero.

Other than that, the trick works perfectly well. ;)

use utc2k::{LocalOffset, Utc2k};

let now_utc = Utc2k::now();

// These two are equivalent.
let now_local = Utc2k::from(LocalOffset::now());
let now_local = Utc2k::now_local();

If you need to convert from a local timestamp into a UTC one, you can leverage std::ops::Neg to invert the offset, like:

use utc2k::{LocalOffset, Utc2k};

let offset = LocalOffset::from(946_684_800_u32);
let utc = Utc2k::from(-offset);

Implementations

impl LocalOffset

pub fn now() -> Self

Now.

Return the current, local offset. If no offset can be determined, UTC will be assumed.

Examples

let now = utc2k::LocalOffset::now();

pub const fn offset(self) -> i32

Offset.

Return the local offset (in seconds). Zero is returned if there is no offset, or no offset could be determined.
