Class std.datetime.timezone.SimpleTimeZone

Represents a time zone with an offset (in minutes, west is negative) from UTC but no DST.

class SimpleTimeZone
  : TimeZone ;

It's primarily used as the time zone in the result of SysTime's fromISOString, fromISOExtString, and fromSimpleString.

name and dstName are always the empty string since this time zone has no DST, and while it may be meant to represent a time zone which is in the TZ Database, obviously it's not likely to be following the exact rules of any of the time zones in the TZ Database, so it makes no sense to set it.

Methods

NameDescription
dstInEffect Always returns false.
tzToUTC Takes the number of hnsecs (100 ns) since midnight, January 1st, 1 A.D. in this time zone's time and converts it to UTC (i.e. std time).
utcOffsetAt Returns utcOffset as a Duration.
utcToTZ Takes the number of hnsecs (100 ns) since midnight, January 1st, 1 A.D. in UTC time (i.e. std time) and converts it to this time zone's time.
factory Create instance of class specified by the fully qualified name classname. The class must either have no constructors or have a default constructor.
opCmp Compare with another Object obj.
opEquals Test whether this is equal to o. The default implementation only compares by identity (using the is operator). Generally, overrides for opEquals should attempt to compare objects by their contents.
toHash Compute hash function for Object.
toString Convert Object to a human readable string.
