<brief_description>
Time singleton for working with time.
</brief_description>
<description>
The Time singleton allows converting time between various formats and also getting time information from the system.
This class conforms with as many of the ISO 8601 standards as possible. All dates follow the Proleptic Gregorian calendar. As such, the day before [code]1582-10-15[/code] is [code]1582-10-14[/code], not [code]1582-10-04[/code]. The year before 1 AD (aka 1 BC) is number [code]0[/code], with the year before that (2 BC) being [code]-1[/code], etc.
Conversion methods assume "the same timezone", and do not handle timezone conversions or DST automatically. Unix epoch assumes UTC. Leap seconds are also not handled, they must be done manually if desired. Suffixes such as "Z" are not handled, you need to strip them away manually.
[b]Important:[/b] The [code]_from_system[/code] methods use the system clock that the user can manually set. [b]Never use[/b] this method for precise time calculation since its results are subject to automatic adjustments by the user or the operating system. [b]Always use[/b] [method get_ticks_usec] or [method get_ticks_msec] for precise time calculation instead, since they are guaranteed to be monotonic (i.e. never decrease).

<description>
Returns the current date as a dictionary of keys: [code]year[/code], [code]month[/code], [code]day[/code], [code]weekday[/code], and [code]dst[/code] (Daylight Savings Time).
The returned values are in the system's local time when [code]utc[/code] is false, otherwise they are in UTC.

<method name="get_datetime_dict_from_string" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Dictionary" />

<argument index="1" name="weekday" type="bool" />
<description>
Converts the given ISO 8601 date and time string (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS) to a dictionary of keys: [code]year[/code], [code]month[/code], [code]day[/code], [code]weekday[/code], [code]hour[/code], [code]minute[/code], and [code]second[/code].
If [code]weekday[/code] is false, then the [code]weekday[/code] entry is excluded (the calculation is relatively expensive).

</method>
<method name="get_datetime_dict_from_system" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Dictionary" />
<argument index="0" name="utc" type="bool" default="false" />
<description>
Returns the current date as a dictionary of keys: [code]year[/code], [code]month[/code], [code]day[/code], [code]weekday[/code], [code]hour[/code], [code]minute[/code], and [code]second[/code].

</method>
<method name="get_datetime_dict_from_unix_time" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Dictionary" />
<argument index="0" name="unix_time_val" type="int" />
<description>
Converts the given Unix timestamp to a dictionary of keys: [code]year[/code], [code]month[/code], [code]day[/code], and [code]weekday[/code].
The returned Dictionary's values will be the same as the [method get_datetime_dict_from_system] if the Unix timestamp is the current time, with the exception of Daylight Savings Time as it cannot be determined from the epoch.

</method>
<method name="get_datetime_string_from_dict" qualifiers="const">
<return type="String" />
<argument index="0" name="datetime" type="Dictionary" />
<argument index="1" name="use_space" type="bool" />
<description>
Converts the given dictionary of keys to an ISO 8601 date and time string (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS).
The given dictionary can be populated with the following keys: [code]year[/code], [code]month[/code], [code]day[/code], [code]hour[/code], [code]minute[/code], and [code]second[/code]. Any other entries (including [code]dst[/code]) are ignored.
If the dictionary is empty, [code]0[/code] is returned. If some keys are omitted, they default to the equivalent values for the Unix epoch timestamp 0 (1970-01-01 at 00:00:00).
If [code]use_space[/code] is true, use a space instead of the letter T in the middle.
