timeDate(charvec, in.format,
format, zone,
julian, ms, in.origin=c(month=1, day=1, year=1960))
| One of charvec, julian, or ms must be supplied, unless the function is called with no arguments. | |
| charvec | a character vector to read the times from. |
| in.format | the input format string for charvec. The default value is timeDateOptions("time.in.format"). (Click class.timeDate in the SEE ALSO section for the list of allowable input format strings. |
| format | the output format stored in the result. The default is timeDateOptions("time.out.format"). |
| zone | the time zone stored in the result. The default value is timeDateOptions("time.zone"). |
| julian | an integer vector of the number of days since in.origin. If ms is missing, this argument can also be a numeric whose fractional part gives the fraction of the day. |
| ms | an integer vector of milliseconds since midnight. |
| in.origin | the origin for the julian argument. This should be a vector with month, day, and year components. |
