fn:current-time

fn:current-time() as xs:time

This function is deterministic, context-dependent, and focus-independent. It depends on implicit timezone.

Returns xs:time(fn:current-dateTime()). This is an xs:time (with timezone) that is current at some time during the evaluation of a query or transformation in which fn:current-time is executed.

This function is deterministic. The precise instant during the query or transformation represented by the value of fn:current-time() is implementation-dependent.

The returned time will always have an associated timezone, which will always be the same as the implicit timezone in the dynamic context

fn:current-time() returns an xs:time corresponding to the current time. For example, a call of fn:current-time() might return 23:17:00.000-05:00.
