dt_hour_diff (public, deprecated)

 dt_hour_diff -start_time start_time -end_time end_time

Defined in packages/acs-datetime/tcl/acs-calendar-2-procs.tcl

Deprecated. Invoking this procedure generates a warning.

24-hour times input (23:00,02:00). This gives us the num of hours of difference, taking into account that if something goes until 5:01, it is one more hour long than if it goes until 5:00 DEPRECATED: this is really something one should do leveraging existing tcl capabilities. Plain clock idioms can do the same in a more generic and reliable way.

Switches:

-start_time (required)

-end_time (required)
