1 Introduction

The local-time library is a Common Lisp library for the manipulation of dates, times and intervals. It was originally based almost entirely upon Erik Naggum’s paper The Long Painful History of Time [NaggumPaper]. Many of the core concepts originated from this paper, such as the seperation of days and seconds, the choice of 2000-03-01 as the standard epoch, and the timestring format.
