{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-} {-| Module: Data.Time.LocalTime.TimeZone.Detect Portability: POSIX Exposes utilities derived from the excellent ZoneDetect library . To use this module, you need to obtain database files from the aforementioned library's server. Additionally, if you have a local time, latitude and longitude, we use the timezone-series and timezone-olson packages to help determine the equivalent UTC instant to that point in geography and time. The only relevant binding to ZoneDetect is 'lookupTimeZoneName', richer information that plays neatly with the notion of 'TimeZone' could be derived, but I didn't have a personal need for that yet. Functions to open, close, and work with an open database (from a valid file) are provided. -} module Data.Time.LocalTime.TimeZone.Detect ( TimeZoneName , TimeZoneDatabase -- for managing the database info pointer: , openTimeZoneDatabase , closeTimeZoneDatabase , withTimeZoneDatabase -- timezone lookup: , lookupTimeZoneName , lookupTimeZoneNameFromFile -- (local time, place) -> UTC "instant" , timeAtPointToUTC , timeAtPointToUTCFromFile -- (local time, timezone name) -> UTC "instant" , timeInTimeZoneToUTC ) where import Foreign.ZoneDetect import Foreign.C.String (peekCAString, withCAString) import Foreign (Ptr, nullPtr) import Data.Time import Data.Time.LocalTime.TimeZone.Olson import Data.Time.LocalTime.TimeZone.Series import System.IO.Unsafe (unsafePerformIO) import Control.Monad.IO.Class (MonadIO(liftIO)) import Control.Monad.Fail (MonadFail, fail) import Prelude hiding (fail) import Control.Exception (bracket) -- | Alias for clarity, timezones are path-like strings that follow the IANA conventions -- documented here: -- -- and here: -- type TimeZoneName = FilePath -- | A reference to a timezone database. type TimeZoneDatabase = Ptr ZoneDetectInfo -- | Given a timezone database, latitude and longitude, try to determine the -- timezone name.
