timeSpan
Constructor Function For timeSpan Class

### Description

Constructs an object of class timeSpan.

### Usage

    timeSpan(charvec, in.format, format, julian, ms)

### Arguments

| You can call this function with no arguments. If you supply any arguments, at least one of charvec, julian, or ms must be present.
charvec | the character vector to parse.
in.format | the time span input format for parsing. Defaults to timeDateOptions("tspan.in.format").
format | the output format to apply to the returned object. Defaults to timeDateOptions("tspan.out.format").
julian | the integer vector of days of the time span. Can be a non-integer if ms is missing, in which case the fractional part represents fractions of days.
ms | an integer vector of milliseconds of the time span.

### Details

- If charvec is given, the in.format is used to parse charvec into time spans, and the julian and ms arguments are ignored (with a warning to the user if they are present).
- If format is given, it is put into the format slot of the output.
- If julian and/or ms are provided instead of charvec, these values are put into the timeSpan as the number of days and milliseconds, respectively, of the time span.

Value
returns a timeSpan object constructed from the input. If you provide no arguments, returns the default (empty) timeSpan object.
