POSIXctp-class: Class "POSIXctp"

Description

Class that defines 'time period' objects such as 'one month', 'two months', 'three hours', 'four minutes', etc.

Details

Objects of this class are used to represent time periods such as one hour, two seconds, three years, etc. Partial time period are not allowed (1.5 hours will be coerced to an integer value using as.integer).

POSIXctp (p stands forperiod) has only one unit. So one hour and 2 seconds is not defined.
