timehandlers: Consistent ways to get system times and dates

In Ironholds/olivr: Oliver's personal R package

Description

R has Sys.Date() and Sys.time(), an incredible pair of functions. Well, mostly they're incredible because despite being written by the /same group of people/ they're not even consistently cased. What we actually mean is today or now, so let's just call it that. Also, we sometimes want to work out what this time was N days ago, ("Oliver, find me all of X in the last 30 days") so let's include a function that does that.

Usage

today()

now()

days_ago(days)

Arguments

days	how many days back you want the timestamp to be offset from the current date and time.

Value

a Date or POSIX object

See Also

iftime and ifdate for time-based conditional handlers.
