On the documentation page for DateTimeClasses, in the Examples section, there are the following two lines:
format(.leap.seconds) # the leap seconds in your time zone print(.leap.seconds, tz = "PST8PDT") # and in Seattle's The second line (using print) seems to ignore the tz argument, and prints the dates in my time zone, while: format(.leap.seconds, tz = "PST8PDT") does print the dates in PST. The code in https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/library/base/R/datetime.R around line 234 looks like the ... argument is passed to print, not to format. print.POSIXct <- print.POSIXlt <- function(x, ...) { max.print <- getOption("max.print", 9999L) if(max.print < length(x)) { print(format(x[seq_len(max.print)], usetz = TRUE), ...) cat(' [ reached getOption("max.print") -- omitted', length(x) - max.print, 'entries ]\n') } else print(if(length(x)) format(x, usetz = TRUE) else paste(class(x)[1L], "of length 0"), ...) invisible(x) } The documentation for print() on this page seems to be silent on tz as an argument, but I do believe the example using print() does not work as advertised. Thanks.
