ucar.nc2.units

Class TimeDuration

java.lang.Object

ucar.nc2.units.TimeDuration

public class TimeDuration
extends Object

Implements the thredds "duration" XML element type: specifies a length of time. This is really the same as a ucar.nc2.units.TimeUnit, but it allows xsd:duration syntax as well as udunits syntax. It also keeps track if the text is empty.

A duration can be one of the following:

1. a valid udunits string compatible with "secs"
2. an xsd:duration type specified in the following form "PnYnMnDTnHnMnS" where:
   • P indicates the period (required)
   • nY indicates the number of years
   • nM indicates the number of months
   • nD indicates the number of days
   • T indicates the start of a time section (required if you are going to specify hours, minutes, or seconds)
   • nH indicates the number of hours
   • nM indicates the number of minutes
   • nS indicates the number of seconds
