<p>Welcome to the Cmdr project, written by Andreas Kupries.</p>
<p>For availability please read <i class="term"><a href="cmdr_howto_get_sources.html">Cmdr - How To Get The Sources</a></i>.</p>
<p>This package provides the validation type
<b class="cmd">::cmdr::validate::time</b> which accepts timestamps in both ISO 8601
syntax and as epoch values, i.e. positive integer seconds since the
beginning of unix time.</p>
<p>The internal, canonical representation is the epoch for the
validated input.</p>
<p>The type has no input completion.</p>
<p>The details of the exported standard API can be found in
<i class="term"><a href="cmdr_vtypes.html">Cmdr - Writing custom validation types</a></i>. The chosen default is "now".</p>
<p>A single non-standard method is provided:</p>
<dl class="definitions">
<dt><a name="1"><b class="cmd">::cmdr::validate::time</b> <b class="method">2external</b> <i class="arg">epoch</i></a></dt>
<dd><p>This method converts the epoch of a time to the form
<b class="const">%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S</b> and returns the conversion result as its own.</p></dd>
</dl>
