NAME
time - time object for SunScreen configuration

DESCRIPTION
A time object is used to describe time intervals for use in time-of-day packet filtering rules. It is manipulated through the configuration editor or SunScreen administration GUI.

The value of a time object is a collection of start and end times for various DAYS, as indicated using the following keywords: EVERYDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY.

The time ranges are specified in 24-hour time, in 5-minute increments. The hour 0:00 is midnight, starting the day. The hour 24:00 is midnight, ending the day. The start time must be before the end time.

All times may have an optional COMMENT field associated with them which is a 256-character or less user-provided comment.

All times may be optionally associated with a specific SCREEN object. If a time is so associated, its value will only be used on the Screen with which it is associated. This is useful since all time is interpreted in the local time of the SunScreen.

A time's unique name which is its given name plus the name of the Screen if it is so associated. "work week" and "work week" SCREEN "LA" are two examples of times named "work week".

All references to times are to its generic name, without regard to any associated Screen.
