Demonstrates how to get the current system date/time in YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD format. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local dt = chilkat.DateTime.new()

local success = dt:set_from_current_system_time()

-- Get a UTC time.
local bLocal = false
local timestamp = dt:get_as_timestamp(bLocal)
print("Current UTC Time: " .. timestamp)

-- Get a local time.
bLocal = true
timestamp = dt:get_as_timestamp(bLocal)
print("Current Local Time: " .. timestamp)

-- Sample output:
--
-- Current UTC Time: 2022-03-01T00:48:58Z
