force_tz: Replace time zone to create new date-time
Description
force_tz returns a the date-time that has the same clock time as x in the new
time zone.
Although the new date-time has the same clock time (e.g. the
same values in the year, month, days, etc. elements) it is a
different moment of time than the input date-time. force_tz defaults to the
Universal Coordinated time zone (UTC) when an unrecognized time zone is
inputted. See Sys.timezone for more information on how R
recognizes time zones.
Usage
force_tz(time, tzone = "")
Arguments
time
a POSIXct, POSIXlt, Date, or chron date-time object.
tzone
a character string containing the time zone to convert to. R
must recognize the name
contained in the string as a time zone on your system.
