Structs

PostEpochTime

Conceptually this is a thin wrapper for std::time::SystemTime, but provides more useful functions. The impl of this struct has functions that allow easily extracting the year/month/date/etc. for the given point in time. In actual fact the internal representation of this struct is a Duration since the unix epoch, so that error-handling is only required once upon creating the instance, and not for each attempt at extracting date/time fields.

Day

Enum with the seven days of the week.

Month

Enum with the months of the year.
