Struct UTC 

pub struct UTC;

Coordinated Universal Time.

Leap-second-aware civil scale. Time<UTC> stores a continuous instant; leap-second interpretation is computed on demand from the UTC-TAI segment table. Raw-axis arithmetic acts on that stored instant.

Storage invariant

Time<UTC> and Time<TAI> store the same continuous instant for the same physical event. Scale conversion between them is therefore a numeric no-op at the storage layer.

UTC participates in CoordinateScale, so Time<UTC> exposes the same raw J2000/JD/MJD instant-axis helpers and second-based arithmetic as the other built-in scales. Those operations act on the stored continuous instant, not on a leap-second-labelled civil clock.

UTC still does not implement ContinuousScale. Generic code that wants a scale with no civil semantics should keep using that stricter bound; generic code that merely needs a raw coordinate axis can use CoordinateScale.

Authoritative UTC API

Use the civil layer for any operation that depends on the UTC-TAI offset (i.e., leap seconds):

• crate::Time::<UTC>::from_chrono / crate::Time::try_from_chrono / crate::Time::try_to_chrono
• Unix time: time.try_to::<crate::Unix>() returns a crate::UnixTime

type Output = Time<UTC, SrcF>

fn try_convert(src: Time<UT1, SrcF>) -> Result<Self::Output, ConversionError>

impl<SrcF: TimeFormat> ConversionTarget<UTC, SrcF> for UT1

type Output = Time<UT1, SrcF>

fn try_convert(src: Time<UTC, SrcF>) -> Result<Self::Output, ConversionError>

impl Debug for UTC

impl FormatForScale<UTC> for Unix

fn try_from_time<Fin: TimeFormat>( time: Time<UTC, Fin>, ctx: &TimeContext, ) -> Result<Second, ConversionError>

fn try_into_time( raw: Second, ctx: &TimeContext, ) -> Result<Time<UTC, Self>, ConversionError>

impl Hash for UTC

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for UTC

fn cmp(&self, other: &UTC) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl Scale for UTC

const NAME: &'static str = "UTC"

Display name of the scale. Used by Debug on Time.

impl CoordinateScale for UTC
