nxt.convert.ts: Convert timestamps back and forth between seconds since...

In dmkaplan2000/Rxt: Functions for analyzing the H2 database containing the NXT blockchain

Description

Timestamps are stored internally in the NXT H2 database in units of seconds since the genesis block. This function converts back and forth between the internal format and POSIXct timestamp objects. If the function is not explicitly told which direction to convert to it will try to automatically determine the correct direction based on inputs.

Usage

nxt.convert.ts(ts, tz = "UTC",
  from.db = length(grep("^(character|POSIX[lc]?t)", class(ts))) == 0,
  genesis.ts = nxt.genesis.ts)

Arguments

ts	a vector of timestamp values. Can be numeric, in which case values are assumed to reprsent seconds since genesis block; POSIX timestamp objects; or character, which is converted to POSIXct
tz	timezone to use when converting character to POSIXct. Defaults to "UTC"
from.db	Boolean. If true, try to convert ts into POSIXct. If false, tries to convert into seconds since the genesis block. By default, will try to automatically convert numeric into POSIXct and all others into numeric (seconds since genesis).
genesis.ts	timestamp of genesis block in POSIXct format. Defaults to nxt.genesis.ts.

Value

A vector of timestamps in the desired format.
