Modern Tz TimeZone RegisterDatabase

TimeZone.RegisterDatabase

Gives std/tz a zone database to fall back on, in the .tzdb format tools/tzdb makes.

Syntax

TimeZone.RegisterDatabase( byval p as const ubyte ptr, byval n as longint ) as boolean

Notes

• #import "std/tzdata" calls this for you with the database it embeds. Call it yourself only to use a database of your own.
• The bytes are read in place and must stay valid for the life of the program -- an #embed does.
• The first registration is kept; later ones, and bytes that are not a database, return false.

Examples

#import "std/tz"
#import "std/tzdata"
#import "std/chrono"
using tz
dim as string notADatabase = "hello"
print TimeZone.RegisterDatabase( cptr( const ubyte ptr, strptr( notADatabase ) ), len( notADatabase ) )   '' false
