Function: list Unix2PST_PDT(integer unixtime);

Returns a string containing the SLT date and time, annotated with PST or PDT as appropriate, corresponding to the given Unix time.

e.g. Wed 2013-12-25 06:48 PST

• integer unixtime a point in time represented by the number of seconds since 00:00 hours, Jan 1, 1970 UTC, e.g. a value returned by llGetUnixTime()

Specification

<lsl> // Convert Unix Time to SLT, identifying whether it is currently PST or PDT (i.e. Daylight Saving aware) // Omei Qunhua December 2013

list weekdays = ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"];

   string str = Convert(insecs - (3600 * 8) );   // PST is 8 hours behind GMT
   if (llGetSubString(str, -3, -1) == "PDT")     // if the result indicates Daylight Saving Time ...
       str = Convert(insecs - (3600 * 7) );      // ... Recompute at 1 hour later
   return str;

}

// This leap year test is correct for all years from 1901 to 2099 and hence is quite adequate for Unix Time computations integer LeapYear(integer year) {

   return !(year & 3);

}

   // Up to 2006, PDT is from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October
   // After 2006, PDT is from the 2nd Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November
