tzdb is a developer focused R package with two purposes:
It ships an up-to-date copy of the IANA time zone database files.
It provides low-level access to the C++ library, date.
To use the C++ API supplied by tzdb:
Add tzdb to both Imports and LinkingTo.
Call tzdb::tzdb_initialize()
from your
.onLoad()
.
Access the date API through
#include <tzdb/*.h>
where *
is replaced
with the date header you want to use.
Note that while tzdb/tz.h
declares many functions and
types, most of their implementations are not present in the header file.
This means that the functions in tzdb/tz.h
are not
safe to call from your R package. Instead, the most critical helpers
have been exposed in a safe way in tzdb/tzdb.h
. Use these
instead.
You can install the released version of tzdb from CRAN with:
install.packages("tzdb")
And the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("pak")
::pak("r-lib/tzdb") pak
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
