Zig TZif

This repository implements TZif parsing, according to RFC 8536.

Usage

Take a look at the examples to get an idea of this library works. I recommend starting with the localtime example.

Add it as a package

To start, add zig-tzif to your build.zig.zon:

.{
    .name = "your-project",
    .version = "0.1.0",
    .dependencies = .{
        .tzif = .{
            .url = "https://github.com/leroycep/zig-tzif/archive/fdac55aa9b4a59b5b0dcba20866b6943fc00765d.tar.gz",
            .hash = "1220459c1522d67e7541b3500518c9db7d380aaa962d433e6704d87a21b643502e69",
        },
    },
}

Then, add zig-tzif to executable (or library) in the build.zig:

const Build = @import("std").Build;

pub fn build(b: *Build) void {
    const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
    const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});

    // Get the tzif dependency
    const tzif = b.dependency("tzif", .{
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });

    const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
        .name = "tzif",
        .root_source_file = .{ .path = "tzif.zig" },
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });

    // Add it as a module
    exe.addModule("tzif", tzif.module("tzif"));

    b.installArtifact(exe);
}

Useful functions

tzif.parseFile(allocator, filename) !TimeZone

tzif.parse(allocator, reader, seekableStream) !TimeZone

TimeZone.localTimeFromUTC(this, utc_timestamp) ?ConversionResult

Caveats
