Details
This function calls the holiday.xxx functions,
where xxx takes on the value of each of the strings
in the type argument.
If these functions do not exist, an error occurs.
After calling the holiday.xxx functions,
holidays calls holiday.nearest.weekday
if move is TRUE. This moves the holidays so they occur
on weekdays. move can also be given as a logical vector,
in which case each element applies to the corresponding element of type.
Value
returns a time/date object containing the specified holidays, in chronological order.
The time of day in the returned value is midnight in the time zone
given by timeDateOptions("time.zone").
