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

This library has not been rigorously tested, it might not always produce the correct offset, especially for time zones that have changed between different Daylight Savings schemes.
Does not support version 1 files. Files must be version 2 or 3.
