Here are a couple of packages that are part of the GNAT standard library: -- This package extends Ada.Calendar to handle Hour, Minute, Second, -- Second_Duration and Day_Of_Week and Day_In_Year from Calendar.Time. -- Second_Duration precision depends on the target clock precision. -- -- GNAT.Calendar provides the same kind of abstraction found in -- Ada.Calendar. It provides Split and Time_Of to build and split a Time -- data. And it provides accessor functions to get only one of Hour, Minute, -- Second, Second_Duration. Other functions are to access more advanced -- valueas like Day_Of_Week, Day_In_Year and Week_In_Year. with Ada.Calendar; with Interfaces.C; package GNAT.Calendar is type Day_Name is (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday); subtype Hour_Number is Natural range 0 .. 23; subtype Minute_Number is Natural range 0 .. 59; subtype Second_Number is Natural range 0 .. 59; subtype Second_Duration is Ada.Calendar.Day_Duration range 0.0 .. 1.0; subtype Day_In_Year_Number is Positive range 1 .. 366; subtype Week_In_Year_Number is Positive range 1 .. 53; function Hour (Date : Ada.Calendar.Time) return Hour_Number; function Minute (Date : Ada.Calendar.Time) return Minute_Number; function Second (Date : Ada.Calendar.Time) return Second_Number; function Sub_Second (Date : Ada.Calendar.Time) return Second_Duration; -- Hour, Minute, Sedond and Sub_Second returns the complete time data for -- the Date (H:M:S.SS).
