To use the Lua
os.time()
function to generate a time value in UTC time, use the following format:
os.time({year =
year
, month =
month
, day =
day
, hour =
hour
, min =
min
, sec =
sec}
)
Where:
year
= A full year (2006 or later)
month
= The desired month (1 to 12)
day
= The desired day (1 to 31)
hour
= The desired hour (00 to 23)
min
= The desired minute (00 to 59)
sec
= The desired second (00 to 59)
When you are using the
os.time()
function, make sure that you include the
year
,
month
, and
day
parameters, which are mandatory (the rest are optional). If the other parameters are not used, they default to
noon for that day.
Set the time zone before calling the
os.time()
function.
Example
systemTime = os.time({year = 2010,
month = 3,
day = 31,
hour = 14,
min = 25})
settime(systemTime)
Sets the date and time to Mar 31, 2010 at
2:25 pm.
