Date, date-time, and duration S3 classes
A date
(Date) is a double vector. Its value represent the number
of days since the Unix "epoch", 1970-01-01. It has no attributes.
A datetime
(POSIXct is a double vector. Its value represents the
number of seconds since the Unix "Epoch", 1970-01-01. It has a single
attribute: the timezone (tzone
))
A duration
(difftime)

Time zone. A character vector of length 1. Either |
units |
Units of duration. |
These function help the base Date
, POSIXct
, and difftime
classes fit
into the vctrs type system by providing constructors, coercion functions,
and casting functions.
