CosTime_TIO(3erl)					     Erlang Module Definition						 CosTime_TIO(3erl)

NAME
       CosTime_TIO - This module implements the OMG CosTime::TIO interface.

DESCRIPTION
       To get access to the record definitions for the structures use:
       -include_lib("cosTime/include/*.hrl").

EXPORTS
       '_get_time_interval'(TIO) -> TimeInterval

	      Types  TIO = #objref
		     TimeInterval = #'TimeBase_IntervalT{lower_bound, upper_bound}
		     lower_bound = upper_bound = ulonglong

	      This operation returns the interval associated with the target object.

       spans(TIO, UTO) -> Reply

	      Types  TIO = UTO = OtherTIO = #objref
		     Reply = {OverlapType, OtherTIO}
		     OverlapType = 'OTContainer' | 'OTContained' | 'OTOverlap' | 'OTNoOverlap'

	      This  operation  returns	a  OverlapType depending on how the interval in the target object and the timerange represented by the UTO
	      object overlap. If the OverlapType is 'OTNoOverlap' the out parameter represents the gap between the two intervals.  If  OverlapType
	      is one of the others, the out parameter represents the overlap interval. The definitions of the OverlapType's are:

		* 'OTContainer'  -  target  objects  lower  and  upper	limits	are,  respectively, less or equal to and greater or equal to given
		  object's.

		* 'OTContained' - target objects lower and upper limits are, respectively, greater  or	equal  to  and	less  or  equal  to  given
		  object's.

		* 'OTOverlap' - target objects interval overlap given object's.

		* 'OTNoOverlap' - target objects interval do not overlap given object's.

       overlaps(TIO, OtherTIO) -> Reply

	      Types  TIO = OtherTIO = AnotherTIO = #objref
		     Reply = {OverlapType, AnotherTIO}
		     OverlapType = 'OTContainer' | 'OTContained' | 'OTOverlap' | 'OTNoOverlap'

	      This  operation  returns	a  OverlapType depending on how the interval in the target object and the timerange represented by the TIO
	      object overlap. The OverlapType's are described under spans/2.

       time(TIO) -> UTO

	      Types  TIO = UTO = #objref

	      This operation returns a UTO in which the interval equals the time interval in the target object and time value is the  midpoint	of
	      the interval.
