Constructive options for class 'hms'

Description

These options will be used on objects of class 'hms'.

Usage

opts_hms(constructor = c("as_hms", "hms", "new_hms", "next", "double"), ...)

Arguments

constructor	String. Name of the function used to construct the object, see Details section.
...	Additional options used by user defined constructors through the opts object

Details

Depending on constructor, we construct the object as follows:

• "as_hms" (default): We build the object using hms::as_hms() on a character vector in the format "12:34:56". If some values cannot be reproduced exactly this way (e.g. negative values, durations of more than 24 hours, or some fractional seconds) we fall back to the "hms" constructor.

• "hms" : We build the object using hms::hms() on seconds, minutes and hours arguments. If the decomposition is not exact we provide only the seconds argument.

• "new_hms" : We build the object using hms::new_hms() on a double vector.

• "next" : Use the constructor for the next supported class. Call .class2() on the object to see in which order the methods will be tried.

• "double" : We define as an atomic vector and repair attributes.

Value

An object of class <constructive_options/constructive_options_hms>
