Up: Introduction [Contents][Index]
This implementation assumes that time zone information is stored in the tzfile format. The default timezone is loaded from /etc/localtime. On non-POSIX systems, this will certainly give different results than the system time handling.
local-time currently supports subsecond precision clocks with allegro,
cmucl, sbcl, abcl, and non-Windows ccl. All others will be able to
retrieve the time with second precision using
get-universal-time
. You may add support for your own
implementation by implementing the clock generic protocol documented
here.
