Struct Dt 

pub struct Dt {
    pub attos: i128,
    pub scale: Scale,
    pub target: Scale,
}

The library’s central time type. A high-precision instant/duration with attosecond resolution.

Fields:

• pub attos: i128 - total time in attoseconds since the reference epoch (2000-01-01 noon), as a signed integer. Negative values represent times before the epoch.
• pub scale: Scale - the current time scale of the object.
• pub target: Scale - a target time scale used by many output functions such as Dt::to_ymd and Dt::to_unix.

Notes:

• In theory it supports a range of roughly ±5.39 trillion years but many of the to and from functions cap at i64 seconds, which can mean a range of ±292 billion years in practice.
• Implements Copy and Clone. Optional derives for serde and tsify are available behind the corresponding features.
• A wide range of math is available for this type, but it’s not calendar aware, for basic calendar aware math use the [YmdHms] type.

Reference epoch and scales

• The librarys epoch for nearly all functionality such as the conversion functions is 2000-01-01 noon. See also: Scale.
• Leap-second handling follows the chosen Scale (UTC, UtcSpice, UtcHist).

Examples

Parsing a date

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

// uses impl FromStr but Dt::parse provides the same functionality
let x: Dt = "2000-01-01 12:00:00".parse().unwrap();

let ymd = x.to_ymd();
assert_eq!(ymd.yr(), 2000);
assert_eq!(ymd.mo(), 1);
assert_eq!(ymd.day(), 1);
assert_eq!(ymd.hr(), 12);
assert_eq!(ymd.min(), 0);
assert_eq!(ymd.sec(), 0);
assert_eq!(ymd.attos(), 0);

Outputting a date to string / bytes

use deep_time::{Dt, Lang, Scale};

let x: Dt = "2000-01-01 12:00:00".parse().unwrap();

let s = x
 .to_str_in_tz("%A, %B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S %Q", "America/New_York", Lang::En)
 .unwrap();
let b = x
 .to_str_lite_in_tz("%A, %B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S %Q", "America/New_York", Lang::En)
 .unwrap();

assert_eq!(s, "Saturday, January 01, 2000 07:00:00 America/New_York");
assert_eq!(b.as_str().unwrap(), "Saturday, January 01, 2000 07:00:00 America/New_York");

Creating a unix timestamp in milliseconds

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

// this fn converts from UTC and creates a TAI Dt
let dt = Dt::from_ymd(2000, 1, 1, 12, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC);

// dt is internally TAI but has a UTC tag
let unix_ms = dt.to_unix().to_ms();

// unix timestamp in ms for 2000-01-01 noon UTC
assert_eq!(unix_ms, 946728000000);

Converting time scales

Many functions such as Dt::to_ymd will convert to TAI from the Dts current scale then to the Dts target Scale prior to producing an output.

So you don’t necessarily have to convert time scales prior to using many of the output functions. You just have to change the target time scale.

Using the target field

use deep_time::{Dt, Lang, Scale};

// Leap seconds were added to the secounds count
// This Dt has attos that are now on the TAI timescale
let dt = Dt::from_ymd(2025, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC);

// The internal target is currently UTC so we don't need to do
// anything to output back to UTC and round trip
let bytes = dt.to_str_lite("%d %m %Y %H:%M:%S", Lang::En).unwrap();

assert_eq!(bytes.as_str().unwrap(), "01 01 2025 00:00:00");

// Perhaps we want to make a GPS timestamp out of our Dt
// If we want it to be on the GPS time scale we have to set the
// target prior to calling to_gps()
let gps = dt.target(Scale::GPS).to_gps().to_sec_f();

Converting the internal attos to a new time scale

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

// this fn converts from UTC and creates a TAI Dt
let dt = Dt::from_ymd(2000, 1, 1, 12, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC);

// to tdb
let tdb = dt.to(Scale::TDB);

// then to tt, the current scale is TDB
let tt = tdb.to(Scale::TT);

// then back to TAI
let tai = tt.to(Scale::TAI);

// round trip equality
assert_eq!(dt, tai);

Performing some basic calendar aware math

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

let x = Dt::from_ymd(2000, 2, 29, 0, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC).to_ymd();
let x = x.add_yr(1);

assert_eq!(x.day(), 28);

Changing a dates format

use deep_time::{Dt, Lang, StrPTimeFmt};

let fmt = Dt::parse_fmt("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S").unwrap();

let s = fmt.to_str("2000-01-01T12:00:00", "%d %m %Y %H:%M:%S", false, false, false, Lang::En).unwrap();

assert_eq!(s, "01 01 2000 12:00:00", "expected: {}, got: {}", "01 01 2000 12:00:00", s);

Fields

attos: i128

scale: Scale

target: Scale

Implementations

impl Dt

pub fn from_str_parse(s: &str, opts: &Option<ParseCfg>) -> Result<Dt, DtErr>

Automatically parses datetime str into a Dt by guessing and generating the format. Supports the vast majority of date formats.

• Requires the "alloc" feature.
• The returned Dt is internally on the TAI time scale. The attos field is an i128 attosecond count since TAI 2000-01-01 noon. See [Scale] for more information.

Parameters

• s: The string to parse. Must be non-empty and no longer than 255 bytes. Empty strings or overly long inputs return an error.
• opts: Optional ParseCfg. Pass None to use the defaults.

Configuration Options (via ParseCfg)

Field	Default	Effect
lang	En	Language, scroll down to see currently supported languages
order	Smart	How to resolve ambiguous numeric dates like 01/02/03
mode	Auto	Special handling for purely numeric inputs
parse	None	If provided, these exact strftime-style formats are tried first (and exclusively if mode is Explicit)
relative	true	Enable phrases like “tomorrow”, “next Friday”, “in 3 days”
ref_time	None	Reference time for relative dates and syslog-style “no-year” dates (uses system time if std feature is enabled)
to_lower	true	Automatically lowercase the input, set to false only if it’s already lowercase

Purely Numeric Inputs

When the input consists only of digits (and optionally a decimal point), the parser uses a fast, mode-aware path before trying any other strategies. The exact interpretation depends on the number of digits and the selected mode.

Digits	Example(s)	Mode	Interpreted as	Notes
1–4	2024, 24, 5	Auto/Legacy	Year (2-digit uses 2000/1900 pivot)	1- and 3-digit years only work in Scientific
5	24123, 60400	Legacy	Ordinal date (YYDDD)	—
5	60400, 60400.75	Scientific	Modified Julian Date (MJD)	Fractional days supported
5	24123, 60400.75	Auto	Ordinal (non-decimal) or MJD (decimal)	Smart default
6	240315, 202403	Auto	YYYYMM if plausible year, else YYMMDD	Most common compact form
6	240315	Legacy	YYMMDD preferred	—
6	202403	Scientific	YYYYMM preferred	—
7	2024123	Legacy	Ordinal date (YYYYDDD)	—
7	2460123, 2460123.5	Scientific	Julian Day (JD)	Fractional days supported
7	2024123	Auto	Ordinal (integer) or JD (decimal)	Smart default
10–11	1735689600	any	Unix seconds	—
12–15	1735689600123	any	Unix milliseconds	Most common high-precision case
16–18	1735689600123456	any	Unix microseconds	—
19+	1735689600123456789	any	Unix nanoseconds	Full precision

Tip: Use Mode::UnixTimestamp when you know the input is always a Unix timestamp.

Ambiguous Numeric Dates

Dates where the components could map to different orders (e.g. 01/02/03, 3-4-5, 15.03.24, 2024.03.15) are resolved via the order field:

• Order::Smart (default) — Applies the fast heuristic described in Order::Smart. It strongly prefers modern/tech conventions (Year-first for compact/ISO-like data) while handling the majority of international and US-style dates.

• Order::Year, Order::Day, or Order::Month force a specific interpretation and bypass the heuristic entirely.

This combination of Smart + Auto mode gives the best real-world parsing success rate for mixed data sources.

Other Supported Formats

• ISO 8601 and variants: 2024-03-15, 2024-03-15T14:30:00Z, 2024-03-15T14:30:00+01:00[Europe/Paris]
• Named dates (in supported languages): 15 March 2024, 15 mars 2024, 15. März 2024, 15 de marzo de 2024
• Week dates: 2024-W15, 2024-W15-3, 2024W153 (missing weekday defaults to Monday)
• Syslog-style (no year): Mar 5 10:23:45 (year inferred from ref_time)
• Relative expressions: tomorrow, next Friday at 09:00, in 3 days, 2 weeks ago
• 12-hour time: 2:30 PM, 14:30:45.123
• Offsets and timezones: +0100, -05:30, Z, IANA names in brackets

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, ParseCfg, Order, Mode, Lang};

// Default smart parsing
let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("2024-03-15 14:30:00", &None).unwrap();

// German named date
let cfg = ParseCfg { lang: Lang::De, ..Default::default() };
let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("15. März 2024 um 14:30", &Some(cfg)).unwrap();

// Force month-first
let cfg = ParseCfg { order: Order::Month, ..Default::default() };
let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("03/15/2024", &Some(cfg)).unwrap();

// Pure numeric compact form
let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("20240315", &None).unwrap(); // March 15, 2024

// Unix timestamp (milliseconds)
let cfg = ParseCfg { mode: Mode::UnixTimestamp, ..Default::default() };
let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("1735689600123", &Some(cfg)).unwrap();

// Explicit formats only (no fallback)
let cfg = ParseCfg {
    parse: Some(vec!["%d/%m/%Y".into(), "%Y-%m-%d".into()]),
    mode: Mode::Explicit,
    ..Default::default()
};
let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("15/03/2024", &Some(cfg)).unwrap();

// Relative date
let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("2 days from now", &None).unwrap();

Notes

• The Smart + Auto combination gives the best real-world success rate for mixed data.
• All successfully parsed Dt values are stored with attosecond precision on the internal TAI timescale.
• For maximum reproducibility in production code, prefer ParseCfg with parse: Some(...) and mode: Explicit.
• Timezone handling (IANA names and fixed offsets) is fully supported.

// negative 1.3 seconds
let dt = Dt::span(-1_300_000_000_000_000_000);

// becomes positive 700ms

// if you just want rounded seconds
// use to_sec_rounded() instead
let dt = Dt::span(-1_300_000_000_000_000_000);

assert_eq!(sec, -1);

pub const fn to_sec_rounded(&self) -> i128

pub const fn to_sec64_rounded(&self) -> i64

pub const fn to_sec64(&self) -> i64

If this time were turned into i64 seconds and u64 (always pushing to the positive) fractional attoseconds, this returns the whole seconds part.

assert_eq!(sec, -1);

pub const fn to_sec_f(&self) -> Real

Converts this Dt to a floating-point number of seconds since the reference epoch of its associated scale.

• The conversion is lossy, as Real provides approximately 15.95 decimal digits of precision.

pub const fn to_sec_frac(&self) -> i64

If this time were turned into seconds, this returns the fractional attoseconds part.

pub const fn to_sec_ufrac(&self) -> u64

If this time were turned into i64 seconds and u64 (always pushing to the positive) fractional attoseconds, this returns the fractional attoseconds part.

• Always returns a value in the range 0 ≤ x < ATTOS_PER_SEC.
• For negative Dts this is not simply the decimal part of the time in seconds.

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

// negative 1.3 seconds
let dt = Dt::span(-1_300_000_000_000_000_000);

// Round-trip through canonical attoseconds
let canon = original.to_diff_raw(Dt::UNIX_EPOCH).to_attos();

Returns the nearest multiple of unit.

Halfway cases round away from zero (e.g. 2.5 → 3.0, -2.5 → -3.0), matching the behavior of the old f64::round().

• If unit is zero, returns self unchanged (preserves full precision).
• Uses Euclidean division internally for correct behavior on negative values.

Special cases (chosen for safety and usability in time arithmetic)

• non-zero / ZERO returns ±Real::INFINITY (sign matches self)
• ZERO / non-zero returns 0.0
• ZERO / ZERO returns 1.0 (the two durations are identical)

These rules avoid NaN entirely while remaining predictable and useful in simulations, rate calculations, and control code.

Negative durations are handled correctly (e.g. (-5 s) / (2 s) == -2.5).

This method is const fn and can be used in const contexts.

pub const fn adjusted_advance(&mut self, elapsed: &Dt, spacetime: &Spacetime)

Advances this Dt by the given elapsed duration while applying the relativistic proper-time correction derived from the supplied Spacetime model.

• This method is intended for simulation of remote clocks (e.g., Earth time as observed from a spacecraft).
• For a local hardware proper-time clock, use the plain add methods instead.

pub const fn adjusted_advance_using_drift( &mut self, elapsed: &Dt, drift: &Drift, )

Advances this Dt by the given elapsed duration while applying the relativistic proper-time correction from a pre-computed Drift value.

• This is an optimized variant of Dt::adjusted_advance for callers that already hold a Drift instance.
• This method is intended for simulation of remote clocks (e.g., Earth time as observed from a spacecraft).
• For a local hardware proper-time clock, use the plain add methods instead.

impl Dt

pub const fn to_scale_and_diff(&self, epoch: Dt, convert_epoch: bool) -> Dt

Converts this instant to the target scale and returns the signed difference from the given epoch.

This is a low-level const fn used internally by higher-level conversion methods such as to_ymd.

Arguments

• to — The time scale to convert self into before computing the difference.
• epoch — The reference epoch (e.g. Dt::UNIX_EPOCH) from which the difference is calculated.

Returns

A Dt representing the signed difference (seconds + attoseconds) between this instant (after conversion to to) and the provided epoch.

The returned value is a signed offset relative to epoch in the to scale. While it is most commonly used as a pure duration, it can also be interpreted as a timestamp when epoch is something like Dt::UNIX_EPOCH (e.g. for generating Unix timestamps via .to_ms() or .to_sec()).

See also

• Dt::to.
• Dt::to_diff_raw.
• Dt::from_diff_and_scale.

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

let dt = Dt::from_ymd(2024, 6, 15, 12, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC);
let diff = dt.to_scale_and_diff(Dt::UNIX_EPOCH, true);

// diff can be used as a Unix timestamp offset
let unix_ms = diff.to_ms();
assert!(unix_ms > 1_700_000_000_000);

pub const fn from_diff_and_scale(diff: Dt, epoch: Dt, convert_epoch: bool) -> Dt

Creates a TAI Dt by adding a difference to an epoch and interpreting the result on the given time scale.

This is the inverse counterpart to Dt::to_scale_and_diff and is used by Dt::from_ymd and related constructors.

Arguments

• diff — The signed difference (as a Dt) to add to the epoch.
• epoch — The reference epoch (commonly Dt::UNIX_EPOCH or Dt::ZERO).
• current — The time scale on which diff + epoch should be interpreted.

Returns

A Dt on the TAI scale representing the absolute instant epoch + diff when interpreted on current.

Notes

• The input diff is treated as being on the current scale.
• The final result is always converted to TAI (the internal canonical representation).

See also

• Dt::to_scale_and_diff
• Dt::from_attos

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

let diff = Dt::from_tai_sec(1_718_467_200); // ~2024-06-15
let dt = Dt::from_diff_and_scale(diff, Dt::UNIX_EPOCH, true);

assert_eq!(ymd.yr(), 2024);

pub const fn to_tai(&self) -> Dt

Converts the internal attos to be on the TAI time Scale.

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

let tt = tai.to(Scale::TT);

assert_eq!(tt.scale, Scale::TT);

let roundtrip = tt.to_tai();

assert_eq!(tai.scale, Scale::TAI);
assert_eq!(roundtrip, tai);

See Dt::to for more info.

pub const fn convert(&self, new: Scale) -> Dt

Converts directly to new Scale, without first converting to TAI.

Warning:

• This function should really only be used if the Dt is on the TAI time scale, or if you really know what you’re doing.
• For the normal time scale conversion function see Dt::to which correctly first converts to TAI before converting to the target scale.

pub const fn to(&self, new: Scale) -> Dt

Converts this instant to another time scale, going via TAI.

Essentially when converting TT to TDB the internal process goes like TT -> TAI -> TDB. It uses the Dts scale field to determine what scale to convert from to TAI, and then the new arg dictates the new time scale.

• It is not necessary to do this if you just want to use such functions as Dt::to_ymd as these internally convert to the scale of the object’s target field before output.
• If a TAI Dt was created using Dt::from_ymd and the datetime had 60 seconds, converting to UTC would lose that info. To round trip a 60 second UTC datetime you need only set the Dt::target Scale to UTC and then call the desired output function, such as Dt::to_ymd.
• The internal attos field changes to be on the new time scale.
• The Dts target field is ignored and left unchanged.
• The Dts scale field is changed to the new Scale.

Returns

• A Dt representing the same physical instant but on the new scale.
• The returned objects scale field has been changed to new.

If current == new, this method returns *self without any computation.

• Dt::to_tai
• Dt::from_attos

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

let tai = Dt::from_ymd(2024, 6, 15, 12, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC);
let tt = tai.to(Scale::TT);
let tdb = tt.to(Scale::TDB);
let roundtrip = tdb.to(Scale::TAI);

let ymd = roundtrip.to_ymd();

pub const fn convert_using_drift(self, reference: Dt, drift: Drift) -> Dt

Converts this instant to any other Scale while applying an exact quadratic relativistic or clock-drift correction defined by a Drift model relative to a reference instant.

pub const fn convert_back_using_drift(self, reference: Dt, drift: Drift) -> Dt

Performs the inverse conversion of Dt::convert_using_drift, recovering the original proper time on the source clock scale.

A fixed-point iteration (at most 16 steps) is used to solve the implicit equation. For the common case of a pure constant offset the function returns immediately without iteration.

• Fully scale-aware (TAI, TT, UTC, TDB, custom clocks, …).
• Exact integer arithmetic for the year boundaries, then a high-precision to_sec_f division (lossy only at the final Real step, same as Astropy).

Supported formats (Level 1 only)

• 1-byte or 2-byte P-field (further extension beyond 2 bytes is rejected).
• Code ID must be 001 (1958-01-01 TAI epoch).
• Coarse time: 1–7 octets (base 1–4 from Octet 1 + up to 3 additional from Octet 2).
• Fractional time: 0–10 octets (base 0–3 from Octet 1 + up to 7 additional from Octet 2).

P-field decoding (when Bit 0 of Octet 1 = 1)

Precision

Fractional seconds are converted to attoseconds with exact integer scaling (value / 2^(8·n_frac)). Larger n_frac gives higher resolution (down to ~2⁻⁸⁰ s with 10 fractional bytes).

A Dt with scale = TAI and tz = Utc.

pub fn from_ccsds_bin(input: &[u8]) -> Result<Dt, DtErr>

Auto-detects and parses a CCSDS binary time code (CUC, CDS, or CCS) based on the Code ID in the first P-field byte.

Convenience wrapper around TimeParts::from_ccsds_bin.

Supported formats

• Code ID 001 → CUC (Unsegmented)
• Code ID 100 → CDS (Day Segmented)
• Code ID 101 → CCS (Calendar Segmented)

Errors

• [DtErrKind::CCSDSBinEmpty] if the input is empty.

impl Dt

pub fn parse(s: &str) -> Result<Self, DtErr>

Parses a date/time string.

• When the parse feature is enabled: uses the smart auto-parser.
• When the parse feature is disabled: falls back to CCSDS format.

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

// uses impl FromStr but Dt::parse provides the same functionality
let x: Dt = "2000-01-01 12:00:00".parse().unwrap();

let ymd = x.to_ymd();
assert_eq!(ymd.yr(), 2000);
assert_eq!(ymd.mo(), 1);
assert_eq!(ymd.day(), 1);
assert_eq!(ymd.hr(), 12);
assert_eq!(ymd.min(), 0);
assert_eq!(ymd.sec(), 0);
assert_eq!(ymd.attos(), 0);

pub fn from_str( s: &str, fmt: &str, inp_can_end_before_fmt: bool, fmt_can_end_before_inp: bool, allow_partial_date: bool, ) -> Result<Dt, DtErr>

High-level parser equivalent to C strptime (and Python strptime).

Parses the input string s according to the supplied format string fmt and returns a Dt directly. This is a convenience wrapper around TimeParts::from_str followed by TimeParts::to_dt.

It supports the same set of % directives as the low-level parser, pretty much the same as jiff.

Parameters

• s: The date/time string to parse.
• fmt: The format string containing % directives (must be valid ASCII).
• inp_can_end_before_fmt: If true, the input may end before the format string is fully consumed (extra format specifiers are ignored).
• fmt_can_end_before_inp: If true, the format may end before the input is fully consumed (trailing characters in the input are allowed).
• allow_partial_date: If true, a missing month/day will be defaulted to 1 instead of returning an [Incomplete] error.

Errors

Returns DtErr for:

• Parse failures (InvalidFormat, OutOfRange, UnknownDirective, etc.)
• Incomplete data when allow_partial_date is false
• Trailing characters (when fmt_can_end_before_inp is false)

See TimeParts::from_str for the complete list of supported directives and detailed parsing semantics.

pub fn parse_fmt(strptime_fmt: &str) -> Result<StrPTimeFmt, DtErr>

Parses and validates a strptime-style format string into a reusable StrPTimeFmt.

The format is checked once for syntax errors and unsupported directives, then stored in a compact fixed-size buffer. The resulting StrPTimeFmt is Copy, cheap to clone, and can be used repeatedly with StrPTimeFmt::to_dt and StrPTimeFmt::to_str without re-validating.

Only ASCII formats up to 256 bytes are accepted.

Parameters

• strptime_fmt: The format string using % directives (e.g. "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", "%F %T", "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%.3fZ").

Errors

Returns DtErr if the format is:

• Longer than 256 bytes
• Not valid ASCII
• Contains unknown, unsupported, or malformed directives

pub fn from_iso_duration(s: &str) -> Result<Dt, DtErr>

Parses an ISO 8601 duration string into a Dt representing a pure time interval.

Supports the full PnYnMnDTnHnMnS format (case-insensitive), including:

• Optional leading + or - sign
• P / p prefix (required)
• Optional T / t separator between date and time parts
• Weeks (W / w)
• Fractional seconds with up to 18 digits of precision (attosecond resolution)

The returned Dt is a duration (signed interval) on the TAI scale. It can be added to/subtracted from other Dt values, multiplied/divided, rounded, etc.

Not Reference-Time Aware

This parser is not reference-time aware. Calendar units (Y, M) are converted to a fixed number of seconds using standard average lengths rather than being resolved against a specific date. This makes parsing fast and allocation-free, but P1M always represents exactly the same duration regardless of context.

Parameters

• s: The ISO 8601 duration string (e.g. "P1Y2M3DT4H5M6.123456789012345678S", "-PT30M", "P7W", "+P1DT12H").

Errors

Returns DtErr for:

• Empty string
• Missing P prefix
• Invalid syntax (T with no time part, multiple Ts, etc.)
• Unknown unit designators
• Numeric values that are out of range or cause overflow

pub fn looks_like_iso(s: &str) -> bool

Accepts: P1Y, -P2W, PT1.5H, P1DT2H30M, +P3D, p1y, P1,5S, PT0S, etc. Rejects: anything with whitespace, lone “P”/“-P”/“PT”, “P123”, “Please wait 5m”, “1.5h”, “P1Yabc”, “P1Y!”, or any string longer than 128 bytes.

impl Dt

pub const fn unix_sec_to_ymd(unix_sec: i64) -> (i64, u8, u8)

Converts a Unix timestamp (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00) to a proleptic Gregorian date (year, month, day).

pub fn to_ymd(&self) -> YmdHms

Returns the proleptic Gregorian date and wall-clock time for this instant.

Converts to this Dts target time scale using the internal current scale before producing a result.

Returns

A YmdHms containing:

• yr, mo, day — proleptic Gregorian calendar date
• hr (0–23), min (0–59), sec (0–60)
• attos — fractional second in attoseconds (0 ≤ attos < 10¹⁸)
• unix_attosec — total attoseconds since the Unix epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) when this instant is expressed in the new scale

Leap-second handling

If new is one of the scales that use leap seconds (UTC, UtcSpice, or UtcHist) and the instant falls exactly on a leap second, the returned sec will be 60. In every other case sec is in the range 0..=59.

The implementation converts internally to TAI before checking leap-second status, ensuring correct detection regardless of the input scale.

• Dt::from_ymd

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

// `from_ymd` always returns a TAI instant
let dt = Dt::from_ymd(2024, 6, 15, 12, 30, 45, 0, Scale::UTC);
let ymd = dt.to_ymd();

assert_eq!(ymd.yr(), 2024);

pub const fn ymd_to_unix_sec( yr: i64, mo: u8, day: u8, hr: u8, min: u8, sec: u8, ) -> i64

Converts a proleptic Gregorian calendar date+time to a Unix timestamp (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00).

• Expects 1 based mo and day, and 0 based hr, min, and sec.
• Does not perform any time scale conversions.
• Expects clamped values.

pub const fn jd_to_ymd(jd: i64) -> (i64, u8, u8)

Converts a Julian Day Number (JD) to a proleptic Gregorian calendar date.

• Returns (year, month, day) where month ∈ [1, 12] and day ∈ [1, 31] (standard 1-based Gregorian values).
• This is the inverse of Dt::ymd_to_jd.
• Supports the full i64 range, including negative years and year zero.

pub const fn ymd_to_jd(yr: i64, mo: u8, day: u8) -> i64

Computes the Julian Day Number (JD) for a proleptic Gregorian calendar date at noon UT. This is the inverse of [jd_to_ymd].

Arguments

• yr - Year (any i64; proleptic Gregorian)
• mo - Month (1-based: 1 = January, 2 = February, …, 12 = December)
• day - Day of the month (1-based: 1 = first day of the month)

The algorithm matches the standard astronomical convention used throughout the library (ymd_to_jd(2000, 1, 1) == 2451545).

Notes

• This function expects 1 based mo and day. Passing mo = 0 or day = 0 (or other out-of-range values) will produce incorrect results as this function does not perform value clamping.
• Does not deal with bad inputs like February with 30 days, does not do any clamping. If you need to sanitize a year, month, day input use Dt::clamp_mdhms first.
• The result is the integer JD corresponding to noon on the given date.

pub const fn from_ymd( yr: i64, mo: u8, day: u8, hr: u8, min: u8, sec: u8, attos: u64, scale: Scale, ) -> Dt

Creates a TAI Dt from a proleptic gregorian date which is assumed to be on the provided time scale.

• Equivalent to Dt::from for the provided date. Except that conversion is performed prior to adding an extra second if the given sec is 60.
• Returned Dt will be on the TAI time scale.

All input components are clamped to their valid ranges:

• mo → 1..=12 1 based
• day → 1..=31 1 based
• hr → 0..=23 0 based
• min → 0..=59 0 based
• sec → 0..=60 0 based (permits leap seconds)
• attos → 10¹⁸ 0 based (clamped to under 1 second)

Returns true if the given Gregorian year contains an ISO week 53.

pub fn day_of_yr(&self, ymd: Option<(i64, u8, u8)>) -> u16

Returns the ordinal day of the year (1-based).

January 1 is day 1; December 31 is day 365 or 366 (in leap years). Uses the proleptic Gregorian calendar.

pub fn wk_sun(&self, ymd: Option<(i64, u8, u8)>, doy: Option<u16>) -> u8

Sunday-based week number (%U in strftime).

Range: 0..=53.

• Week 0 contains the days before the first Sunday of the year.
• Week 1 begins on the first Sunday of the year.

The optional ymd and doy arguments are performance optimisations (same pattern used throughout the file for day_of_year, to_iso_wk_date, etc.). Pass whichever you already have; the function will use the fastest path.

pub fn wk_mon(&self, ymd: Option<(i64, u8, u8)>, doy: Option<u16>) -> u8

Monday-based week number (%W in strftime).

Range: 0..=53.

• Week 0 contains the days before the first Monday of the year.
• Week 1 begins on the first Monday of the year.

The optional ymd and doy arguments are performance optimisations (same pattern as wk_sun, day_of_yr, to_iso_wk_date, etc.).

pub fn to_iso_wk_date(&self, ymd: Option<(i64, u8, u8)>) -> (i64, u8, Weekday)

Returns the ISO 8601 week date for this Dt.

Returns (iso_year, iso_week, weekday) where:

• iso_year is the ISO week year (may differ from the Gregorian year near year boundaries),
• iso_week is the week number in the range 1..=53,
• weekday is a Weekday value (Monday-based week).

Follows the ISO 8601 standard: weeks start on Monday and week 1 is the week containing January 4.

The optional ymd argument is a performance optimization. If provided, it is used directly; otherwise to_gregorian_ymd is called internally.

pub const fn days_in_month(yr: i64, mo: u8) -> u8

Number of days in a month under proleptic Gregorian rules.

pub const fn clamp_mdhms( yr: i64, mo: u8, day: u8, hr: u8, min: u8, sec: u8, ) -> (u8, u8, u8, u8, u8)

Clamps month, day, hour, minutes, and seconds values. Clamps days to what is correct for that particular propleptic gregorian month.

For example the year 2000 is a leap year, and February in that year has 29 days so the days are clamped to 1-29 in that year, but 1-28 in non-leap years.

impl Dt

pub fn to_iso_duration(&self) -> String

Time Scale Handling

All formatting methods in this impl block (except [to_iso_duration]) convert from the Dt’s current time scale to its target scale before producing output. Converts this Dt to an ISO 8601 duration string (e.g. "PT1H23M45.6789S", "-PT0.5S", "PT0.000000000000000001S", or "PT0S").

• This method is only available when the alloc feature is enabled.
• It returns alloc::string::String (no_std + alloc compatible).
• Performs no time scale conversions prior to output.

pub fn to_str(&self, fmt: &str, lang: Lang) -> Result<String, DtErr>

Formats this Dt into a String. Requires the "alloc" feature.

• Converts from this Dt’s current time scale to its target time scale before producing the result.

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Lang, Scale};

let x = Dt::from_ymd(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC);
let s = x.to_str("%F", Lang::En).unwrap();

println!("{}", s);

Errors

Returns DtErr if the format string contains invalid specifiers or if the internal formatting buffer overflows (extremely unlikely with STRFTIME_SIZE).

• Dt::to_str_in_offset
• Dt::to_str_in_tz

pub fn to_str_in_offset( &self, fmt: &str, secs: i32, lang: Lang, ) -> Result<String, DtErr>

Formats this Dt into a String, applying a fixed offset. Requires the "alloc" feature.

• A copy of the Dt is adjusted by the given secs offset before formatting, and the offset is stored so that %z / %:z format directives will reflect it.
• No IANA timezone name or abbreviation is set.
• Converts from this Dt’s current time scale to its target time scale before producing the result.

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Lang, Scale};

let x = Dt::from_ymd(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC);

// offset of minus one hour
let s = x.to_str_in_offset("%F", -3600, Lang::En).unwrap();

println!("{}", s);

Errors

Returns DtErr if the format string contains invalid specifiers or if the internal formatting buffer overflows (extremely unlikely with STRFTIME_SIZE).

See also

• Dt::to_str
• Dt::to_str_in_tz

pub fn to_str_in_tz( &self, fmt: &str, tz_name: &str, lang: Lang, ) -> Result<String, DtErr>

Formats this Dt into a string, time adjusted to the given IANA timezone. Requires the "alloc" feature.

Use this method when you want full IANA-aware formatting (%Q, %Z, %z, etc.).

• A copy of the Dt is adjusted by the offset at the Dt’s time for the given IANA timezone. This is so that the formatter will have:
  • Accurate wall time for the timezone.
  • Correct numeric offset (for %z / %:z).
  • Timezone abbreviation (for %Z). These do not round-trip (the parser does not parse them).
  • Full IANA timezone name (for %Q / %:Q).
• Converts from this Dt’s current time scale to its target time scale before producing the result.

Examples

You can offset an output that wasn’t originally from a zoned input:

use deep_time::{Dt, Lang, Scale};

let x: Dt = "2000-01-01 12:00:00".parse().unwrap();
let s = x.to_str_in_tz("%A, %B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S %Q", "America/New_York", Lang::En).unwrap();
assert_eq!(s, "Saturday, January 01, 2000 07:00:00 America/New_York");

You can also return to a zoned output from a zoned input:

use deep_time::{Dt, Lang, Scale};

let x: Dt = "Saturday, January 01, 2000 07:00:00 America/New_York".parse().unwrap();
let s = x.to_str_in_tz("%A, %B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S %Q", "America/New_York", Lang::En).unwrap();
assert_eq!(s, "Saturday, January 01, 2000 07:00:00 America/New_York");

Errors

Returns DtErr if the format string contains invalid specifiers or if the internal formatting buffer overflows (extremely unlikely with STRFTIME_SIZE).

impl Dt

pub fn proper_time_from_states<I>( samples: I, characteristic_length_scale: Real, ) -> Result<Self, DtErr>

where I: IntoIterator<Item = (Self, Velocity, Real)>,

Computes the accumulated proper time along a trajectory given a sequence of physical states.

This function accepts samples expressed in terms of directly observable quantities — coordinate time, velocity, and gravitational potential — and integrates the proper time (Δτ) along the path. It is a convenience wrapper around the core [proper_time_from_path] routine.

The integration is performed using the trapezoidal rule applied to the instantaneous proper-time rate between consecutive samples. This approach is standard for high-precision clock modeling in astrodynamics and relativistic timing applications.

A single sample, or multiple samples at identical times, produces a result of zero (no time has elapsed). An empty iterator also returns zero.

Parameters

• samples: Iterator yielding (coordinate_time, velocity, gravitational_potential) triples. The coordinate times must be monotonically non-decreasing. It is the caller’s responsibility to supply samples that cover the desired time interval. The function does not validate that the first or last sample exactly matches any particular start or end time.

• characteristic_length_scale: Controls whether the weak-field or strong-field formulation is used when constructing the local spacetime state.

  Pass 0.0 (the normal choice) for all conventional weak-field work (Earth orbit, GNSS, solar-system navigation, most spacecraft). This produces exactly the classic relativistic clock rate used by JPL, ESA, and GNSS systems, with the Kretschmann scalar set to zero.

  Supply a positive value (in meters) only when you need the library’s intrinsic Planck-scale saturation term. The value should represent the characteristic length scale over which the gravitational field varies significantly at the observer’s location. This is intended for strong-field regimes such as the vicinity of neutron stars or black-hole event horizons.

Returns

Ok(total_proper_time) — the total proper time (Δτ) that has accumulated for an observer following the trajectory defined by the supplied samples, returned as a Dt.

This value represents the actual time that would have elapsed on a physical clock moving along the path, including all relativistic effects (velocity and gravitational time dilation, plus the Planck-scale saturation term when active). It is not a drift or difference relative to coordinate time. If you need the difference between proper time and coordinate time (Δτ − Δt), use [proper_time_drift_from_states] instead.

Err(DtErr) — if the coordinate times are not monotonically non-decreasing.

pub fn proper_time_drift_from_states<I>( start: Dt, end: Dt, states: I, characteristic_length_scale: Real, ) -> Result<Dt, DtErr>

where I: IntoIterator<Item = (Self, Velocity, Real)>,

Computes the relativistic clock drift (proper time minus coordinate time) over a specific interval.

This returns how much a physical clock has gained or lost time compared with coordinate time between start and end.

• A positive result means the onboard clock ran fast (it accumulated more proper time than the coordinate interval).
• A negative result means the onboard clock ran slow (it accumulated less proper time than the coordinate interval).

This is the higher-level function most callers should use when they need the net drift over a well-defined time interval. It internally calls [proper_time_from_states] to integrate proper time along the supplied trajectory and then subtracts the requested coordinate time span.

Parameters

• start: Starting coordinate time of the interval.
• end: Ending coordinate time of the interval.
• states: Iterator of physical states in the form (coordinate_time, velocity, gravitational_potential). Coordinate times must be monotonically non-decreasing. It is the caller’s responsibility to ensure the provided states cover the time range from start to end. The function integrates proper time over whatever samples are supplied and subtracts the requested coordinate interval (end - start). Exact matching of the first and last state times to start and end is not validated.
• characteristic_length_scale: Controls the weak-field vs strong-field formulation when constructing local spacetime states (see [proper_time_from_states] for full details). Pass 0.0 for all normal weak-field work (GNSS, Earth orbit, solar-system navigation). Supply a positive length (in meters) only when strong-field Planck-scale saturation effects are required.

Returns

Ok(drift) — the accumulated drift (Δτ − Δt) as a Dt.

Err(DtErr) — if the coordinate times in states are not monotonically non-decreasing.

pub fn proper_time_from_path<I>(path: I) -> Result<Self, DtErr>

where I: IntoIterator<Item = (Self, Spacetime)>,

Computes accumulated proper time along an arbitrary trajectory.

This is the core integration function of the library. It walks the supplied path segment by segment and applies the trapezoidal rule to the instantaneous proper-time rate at each step.

This approach is commonly used when integrating clock rates along sampled trajectories in astrodynamics and high-precision timing work.

The function enforces that coordinate times are monotonically non-decreasing (equal times are allowed). It performs a single pass with no heap allocation.

Parameters

• path: An iterator of (coordinate_time, Spacetime) pairs. Coordinate times must be monotonically non-decreasing.

Returns

Ok(total_proper_time) — the accumulated proper time (Δτ) as a Dt. Returns ZERO if the iterator is empty (no time elapsed).

Err(DtErr) — if the path contains any decrease in coordinate time (i.e., a later sample has a strictly earlier coordinate time than a previous sample).

pub const fn proper_time_between_constant_rate( self, end: Dt, dtau_dt: Real, ) -> Dt

Computes proper time advance over an interval when the proper-time rate is constant.

This method is intended for trajectory segments where the physical conditions remain unchanged, such as:

• a fixed ground station,
• a circular orbit, or
• a deep-space cruise phase with constant velocity and gravitational potential.

It is mathematically equivalent to integrating a constant rate using the trapezoidal rule in [proper_time_from_path], but is more efficient and makes the caller’s intent explicit.

The method is called on the starting coordinate time (self). It calculates the coordinate time interval to end and multiplies it by the supplied constant rate dtau_dt.

Parameters

• end: Ending coordinate time of the interval.
• dtau_dt: Constant proper-time rate (dimensionless). In relativistic contexts this value is typically slightly less than 1.0. The caller is responsible for providing an appropriate rate (for example, from Drift::proper_time_rate or a precomputed constant).

Returns

The accumulated proper time advance (Δτ) over the interval as a Dt.

If end occurs before self, the result will be negative.

Returns the Mars Sol Date (MSD) as a floating-point value (matches NASA Mars24 output). Non-exact Real.

pub const fn to_mars_ls(&self) -> Real

Returns the Areocentric Solar Longitude Ls in degrees (range [0, 360)).

Ls is the angular position of the Sun as measured eastward from the Martian vernal equinox in Mars’s orbital plane. It is the standard index of Martian seasonal progression used in all mission planning, science operations, and atmospheric modeling. Due to orbital eccentricity, northern spring + summer last ~381 Earth days while autumn + winter last ~306 Earth days.

• Ls = 0° → northern vernal equinox (northern spring begins)
• Ls = 90° → northern summer solstice
• Ls = 180° → northern autumnal equinox
• Ls = 270° → northern winter solstice

Reproduces the short-series analytic model (B-1 through B-5) used by the current NASA GISS Mars24 Sunclock algorithm, which is based on Allison & McEwen (2000) with the seven largest planetary perturbations.

Longitude is east-positive (standard planetocentric convention, 0–360° E).

pub const fn to_mars_year(&self) -> i64

Returns the integer Mars Year (MY) for this instant.

Mars Year numbering follows the standard Clancy et al. (2000) system:

• Mars Year 1 begins at the northern vernal equinox (Ls = 0°) on 1955 April 11.
• Each Mars Year is one tropical year on Mars (686.9725 Earth days).
• Current missions operate in Mars Year 36–37 (as of 2026).

This is the canonical year count used in all Mars science literature, mission reports, and atmospheric databases.

Source: Clancy et al. (2000), J. Geophys. Res.: Planets 105(E4), 9553–9572; confirmed in NASA GISS Mars24 Technical Notes (2025) and LMD Mars Climate Database.

impl Dt

pub const SHAPIRO_SOLAR: Self

Shapiro gravitational time scale for the Sun (2 G M_☉ / c³).

Recommended value for the Sun when building the bodies slice passed to ObserverState::shapiro_delay, ObserverState::shapiro_delay, and related methods.

pub const fn shapiro_from_grav_param(gm: Real) -> Dt

Creates the Shapiro delay scale for an arbitrary central body from its standard gravitational parameter GM (μ) in m³ s⁻².

This produces the coefficient used in the Shapiro gravitational time delay formula. It is the recommended way to create a custom Shapiro scale for planets, stars, or other massive bodies.

The returned value is intended to be used for the bodies parameter when calling ObserverState::shapiro_delay or ObserverState::shapiro_delay.

pub const fn to_observer_state( self, position: Position, velocity: Velocity, grav_potential_m2_s2: Real, characteristic_length_scale: Real, ) -> ObserverState

Creates an ObserverState using this time value along with the provided position, velocity, and gravitational information.

An ObserverState represents a complete snapshot of an observer (spacecraft, ground station, planet, etc.) at a specific moment. It bundles together the time, position, velocity, and local gravitational environment so that relativistic calculations (light time, clock rates, Shapiro delay, etc.) can be performed.

This method is a convenience constructor. It is useful when you already have a Dt (a time value) and want to build an ObserverState directly from it, rather than calling ObserverState::new or [ObserverState::new_strong_field].

Parameters

• position: The observer’s position in meters (typically expressed in a barycentric or heliocentric frame).
• velocity: The observer’s velocity in meters per second.
• grav_potential_m2_s2: The total Newtonian gravitational potential (Φ) at the observer’s location, in m²/s². This is usually negative for bound orbits and is the sum of contributions from the Sun and planets.
• characteristic_length_scale: A length scale (in meters) over which gravity varies significantly at this location. Use 0.0 for normal solar-system and weak-field cases. Only provide a non-zero value when working in strong gravitational fields.

When to use this method

Use this method when you already have a time value as a Dt and want to construct an ObserverState in one step. It is especially convenient when working with time values that were previously computed or converted.

For most normal use, ObserverState::new is simpler. Use [ObserverState::new_strong_field] instead if you need to specify a non-zero characteristic_length_scale.

Examples

let t = Dt::from_sec(1234.5);

let state = t.to_observer_state(
    position,
    velocity,
    grav_potential,
    0.0, // normal solar-system use
);

impl Dt

pub const fn every(self, step: Dt) -> Every

Starts building an evenly-spaced time range.

This method returns an Every builder that can be chained with .until(end) or .up_to(end) to create a TimeRange iterator.

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

let start = Dt::from_ymd(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC);
let end = Dt::from_ymd(2000, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC);
let step = Dt::from_hr(1, Scale::TAI);

for timestamp in start.every(step).to_including(end) {
    println!("{:?}", timestamp.to_ymd());
}

pub const fn range(self, end: Dt, step: Dt) -> TimeRange

This is a convenient way to get future points without including the start.

pub fn for_n_steps( self, n: usize, step: Dt, ) -> impl ExactSizeIterator<Item = Dt>

Returns an iterator yielding exactly n evenly spaced points starting from self.

This is a convenient one-liner for the common “next N steps” pattern.

You just have to change the `target`\n * time scale.\n *\n * #### Using the target field\n *\n * ```rust\n * use deep_time::{Dt, Lang, Scale};\n *\n * // Leap seconds were added to the secounds count\n * // This Dt has attos that are now on the TAI timescale\n * let dt = Dt::from_ymd(2025, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC);\n *\n * // The internal target is currently UTC so we don\\\'t need to do\n * // anything to output back to UTC and round trip\n * let bytes = dt.to_str_lite(\\\"%d %m %Y %H:%M:%S\\\", Lang::En).unwrap();\n *\n * assert_eq!(bytes.as_str().unwrap(), \\\"01 01 2025 00:00:00\\\");\n *\n * // Perhaps we want to make a GPS timestamp out of our Dt\n * // If we want it to be on the GPS time scale we have to set the\n * // target prior to calling to_gps()\n * let gps = dt.target(Scale::GPS).to_gps().to_sec_f();\n * ```\n *\n * #### Converting the internal attos to a new time scale\n *\n * ```rust\n * use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};\n *\n * // this fn converts from UTC and creates a TAI Dt\n * let dt = Dt::from_ymd(2000, 1, 1, 12, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC);\n *\n * // to tdb\n * let tdb = dt.to(Scale::TDB);\n *\n * // then to tt, the current scale is TDB\n * let tt = tdb.to(Scale::TT);\n *\n * // then back to TAI\n * let tai = tt.to(Scale::TAI);\n *\n * // round trip equality\n * assert_eq!(dt, tai);\n * ```\n *\n * ### Performing some basic calendar aware math\n *\n * ```rust\n * use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};\n *\n * let x = Dt::from_ymd(2000, 2, 29, 0, 0, 0, 0, Scale::UTC).to_ymd();\n * let x = x.add_yr(1);\n *\n * assert_eq!(x.day(), 28);\n * ```\n *\n * ### Changing a dates format\n *\n * ```rust\n * use deep_time::{Dt, Lang, StrPTimeFmt};\n *\n * let fmt = Dt::parse_fmt(\\\"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S\\\").unwrap();\n *\n * # #[cfg(feature = \\\"alloc\\\")]\n * let s = fmt.to_str(\\\"2000-01-01T12:00:00\\\", \\\"%d %m %Y %H:%M:%S\\\", false, false, false, Lang::En).unwrap();\n *\n * # #[cfg(feature = \\\"alloc\\\")]\n * assert_eq!(s, \\\"01 01 2000 12:00:00\\\", \\\"expected: {}, got: {}\\\", \\\"01 01 2000 12:00:00\\\", s);\n * ```\n */\nexport interface Dt {\n attos: number;\n scale: Scale;\n target: Scale;\n}"
