stri_datetime_add: Date and Time Arithmetic

Description

Modifies a date-time object by adding a specific amount of time units.

Usage

stri_datetime_add(
  time,
  value = 1L,
  units = "seconds",
  tz = NULL,
  locale = NULL
)
stri_datetime_add(time, units = "seconds", tz = NULL, locale = NULL) <- value

Arguments

time

an object of class POSIXct or an object coercible to

value

integer vector; signed number of units to add to time

units

single string; one of 'years', 'months', 'weeks', 'days', 'hours', 'minutes', 'seconds', or 'milliseconds'

tz

NULL or '' for the default time zone or a single string with a timezone identifier,

locale

NULL or '' for default locale, or a single string with locale identifier; a non-Gregorian calendar may be specified by setting the @calendar=name keyword

Value
