Check that an argument is a date/time object in POSIXct format

Description

Checks that an object is of class POSIXct.

Arguments

x	[any] Object to check.
lower	[Date] All non-missing dates in x must be >= this POSIXct time. Must be provided in the same timezone as x.
upper	[Date] All non-missing dates in x must be <= this POSIXct time. Must be provided in the same timezone as x.
any.missing	[logical(1)] Are vectors with missing values allowed? Default is TRUE.
all.missing	[logical(1)] Are vectors with no non-missing values allowed? Default is TRUE. Note that empty vectors do not have non-missing values.
len	[integer(1)] Exact expected length of x.
min.len	[integer(1)] Minimal length of x.
max.len	[integer(1)] Maximal length of x.
unique	[logical(1)] Must all values be unique? Default is FALSE.
sorted	[logical(1)] Elements must be sorted in ascending order. Missing values are ignored.
null.ok	[logical(1)] If set to TRUE, x may also be NULL. In this case only a type check of x is performed, all additional checks are disabled.
.var.name	[character(1)] Name of the checked object to print in assertions. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.
add	[AssertCollection] Collection to store assertion messages. See AssertCollection.
info	[character(1)] Extra information to be included in the message for the testthat reporter. See expect_that.
label	[character(1)] Name of the checked object to print in messages. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.

Value

Depending on the function prefix: If the check is successful, the functions assertAtomic/assert_atomic return x invisibly, whereas checkAtomic/check_atomic and testAtomic/test_atomic return TRUE. If the check is not successful, assertAtomic/assert_atomic throws an error message, testAtomic/test_atomic returns FALSE, and checkAtomic/check_atomic return a string with the error message. The function expect_atomic always returns an expectation.
