Description

Instances of the system class generalized-time represent a time containing fractions of a second and a timezone.

The reader generalized-time-universal-time returns an integer specifying the universal time (in the Common Lisp sense) of a generalized-time. The reader generalized-time-microseconds returns an integer specifying the microseconds of a generalized-time, or nil if microseconds were not specified when it was created. generalized-time-gmtoffset returns the timezone as an offset in seconds from GMT, or :GMT if the generalized-time explictly specified a GMT time, or nil if the generalized-time does not have a timezone.

See the documentatiuon for make-generalized-time for other operations on generalized-time.
