This time system utilizes all the features and benefits of the posix_time system (see <a href="posix_time.html" title="Posix Time">posix_time</a> for full details). It uses a time_zone object which contains all the necessary data/rules to enable adjustments to and from various time zones. The time_zone objects used in date_time are handled via a boost::shared_ptr<boost::local_time::time_zone>. - </p> -<p> - The phrase "wall-clock" refers to the time that would be shown on a wall clock in a particular time zone at any point in time. Local_time uses a time zone object to account for differences in time zones and daylight savings adjustments. For example: While 5:00 pm, October 10, 2004 in Sydney Australia occurs at exactly the same instant as 3:00 am, October 10, 2004 in New York USA, it is a 14 hour difference in wall-clock times. However, a point in time just one day later will result in a 16 hour difference in wall-clock time due to daylight savings adjustments in both time zones. The local_time system tracks these by means of a time point, stored as UTC, and time_zone objects that contain all the necessary data to correctly calculate wall-clock times. - </p> -<a name="local_ex"></a><h3> -<a name="id1004956"></a>Usage Examples</h3> -<div class="informaltable"><table class="table"> -<colgroup> -<col> -<col> -</colgroup> -<thead><tr> -<th>Example</th> -<th>Description</th> -</tr></thead> -<tbody> -<tr> -<td><a href="examples.html#date_time.examples.simple_time_zone" title="Simple Time Zones">Simple Time Zone</a></td> -<td>Side by side examples of Time Zone usage.

'offset' is the offset from UTC. 'dst' specifies the abbrev of the time zone during daylight savings time. The second offset is how many hours changed during DST.

It makes a two hour shift forward for daylight savings which begins on March 1st at midnight, and ends on October 31st at 2am.

The lack of 'J' for the start and end dates, indicates that the Julian day-count begins at zero and ends at 365. If you do the math, you'll see that allows for a total of 366 days. This is fine in leap years, but in non-leap years '59' (Feb-29) does not exist.
