time_init(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE time)
{
if (argc == 0)
return time_init_0(time);
else
return time_init_1(argc, argv, time);
}
Returns a Time object.
It is initialized to the current system time if no argument is given.
Note: The new object will use the resolution available on your system clock, and may include subsecond.
If one or more arguments are specified, the time is initialized to the specified time.
sec may have subsecond if it is a rational.
tz specifies the timezone. It can be an offset from UTC, given either as a string such as “+09:00” or a single letter “A”..“Z” excluding “J” (so-called military time zone), or as a number of seconds such as 32400. Or it can be a timezone object, see Timezone argument for details.
