;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Provides `time-to-epoch', `epoch-to-time', and `epoch' functions to help
;; converting to and from time formats.
;;
;;; Installation:
;;
;; Put `epoch.el' where you keep your elisp files and add something like the
;; following to your .emacs file:
;;
;;   (require 'epoch)
;;
;;; Usage:
;;
;; Start interactive converter:
;;
;;   (epoch)
;;
;; Converting dates to epochs:
;;
;;   (time-to-epoch "2010-01-01")
;;   (time-to-epoch "2010-01-01 00:00")
;;   (time-to-epoch "2010-01-01 00:00:00")
;;
;; Converting epochs to dates:
;;
;;   (epoch-to-time 1262304000.0)
;;   (epoch-to-time "1262304000")
;;
;; Note: `epoch-to-time' requires either a float or a string due to Emacs'
;; inability to handle integers larger than `most-positive-fixnum'.

to `epoch-parse-time', using the second value in the tuple. This
allows for time addition as well as time filtering.
