  Description
 
  A CTimeSpan object represents a relative time span. The CTimeSpan class
  incorporates the ANSI time_t data type and its associated run-time
  functions. These functions convert seconds to various combinations of
  days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
 
  A CTimeSpan object keeps time in seconds. Because the CTimeSpan object
  is stored as a signed number in 4 bytes, the maximum allowed span is
  about +- 68 years.
 
  A companion class, ◄CTime►, represents an absolute time. A CTimeSpan is
  the difference between two CTimes.

  Run-time functions: asctime, _ftime, gmtime, localtime, strftime, time
 
  Derivation
 
  The CTime and CTimeSpan classes are not designed for derivation. Because
  there are no virtual functions, the size of both CTime and CTimeSpan
  objects is exactly 4 bytes. Most member functions are inline.

  Construction/Destruction
 
  ◄CTimeSpan►   Constructs CTimeSpan objects in various ways.
 
  Extraction
 
  ◄GetDays►           Returns the number of complete days in this
                      CTimeSpan.
 
  ◄GetHours►          Returns the number of hours in the current day (-23
                      through 23).
 
  ◄GetTotalHours►     Returns the total number of complete hours in this
                      CTimeSpan.
 
  ◄GetMinutes►        Returns the number of minutes in the current hour
                      (-59 through 59).
 
  ◄GetTotalMinutes►   Returns the total number of complete minutes in this
                      CTimeSpan.
 
  ◄GetSeconds►        Returns the number of seconds in the current minute
                      (-59 through 59).
 
  ◄GetTotalSeconds►   Returns the total number of complete seconds in this
                      CTimeSpan.
 
  Conversion
 
  ◄Format►   Converts a CTimeSpan into a formatted string.
 
  Operators
 
  ◄operator =►              Assigns new time-span values.
 
  ◄operators +, -►          Add and subtract CTimeSpan objects.
 
  ◄operators +=, -=►        Add and subtract a CTimeSpan object to and
                            from this CTimeSpan.
 
  ◄operators ==, <, etc.►   Compare two relative time values.
 
  Archive/Dump
 
  ◄operator <<►   Outputs a CTimeSpan object to CArchive or CDumpContext.
 
  ◄operator >>►   Inputs a CTimeSpan object from CArchive.
