R API for 'Date' and 'Datetime'.
RApiDatetime: R Date and Datetime Functionality at the C Level
About
This package provides C-level date / datetime functionality taken from the R sources and made available for use by other packages.
It is useful if you are writing C (or C++) code in an R package which needs to parse, format or transform date(time) objects, and want to do this at the compiled level, i.e. faster than calling back to the corresponding R level function could do it.
Installation
The package is now on CRAN and can be installed via a standard
install.packages("RApiDatetime")
