28 ;; Time values come in three formats. The oldest format is a cons
29 ;; cell of the form (HIGH . LOW). This format is obsolete, but still
30 ;; supported. The two other formats are the lists (HIGH LOW) and
31 ;; (HIGH LOW MICRO). The first two formats specify HIGH * 2^16 + LOW
32 ;; seconds; the third format specifies HIGH * 2^16 + LOW + MICRO /
33 ;; 1000000 seconds. We should have 0 <= MICRO < 1000000 and 0 <= LOW
34 ;; < 2^16. If the time value represents a point in time, then HIGH is
35 ;; nonnegative. If the time value is a time difference, then HIGH can
36 ;; be negative as well. The macro `with-decoded-time-value' and the
37 ;; function `encode-time-value' make it easier to deal with these
38 ;; three formats. See `time-subtract' for an example of how to use
43 (defmacro with-decoded-time-value (varlist &rest body)
44 "Decode a time value and bind it according to VARLIST, then eval BODY.
46 The value of the last form in BODY is returned.
48 Each element of the list VARLIST is a list of the form
49 \(HIGH-SYMBOL LOW-SYMBOL MICRO-SYMBOL [TYPE-SYMBOL] TIME-VALUE).
50 The time value TIME-VALUE is decoded and the result it bound to
51 the symbols HIGH-SYMBOL, LOW-SYMBOL and MICRO-SYMBOL.
53 The optional TYPE-SYMBOL is bound to the type of the time value.
54 Type 0 is the cons cell (HIGH . LOW), type 1 is the list (HIGH
55 LOW), and type 3 is the list (HIGH LOW MICRO)."
