*LSL function*

```lsl
integer integer llGetRegionDayLength();
```

- Returns: `integer`
- Energy: 10

```lsl collapse={1-13}
// print the apparent time of day as HH:MM (%), just like the environment window in the viewer.
// Time of day is a fraction between 0 and 1, 0 is midnight, 0.5 is noon
string printTimeOfDay(float dayFraction) {
    integer hours = (integer)(dayFraction * 24);
    integer minutes = (integer)(dayFraction * 24 * 60) % 60;
    integer percent = (integer)(dayFraction * 100);
    return (string)hours + ":" + llGetSubString((string)(100+minutes), 1, 2) + " (" + (string)percent + "%)";
}

default {
    state_entry() {
        llSetTimerEvent(5);
    }

    timer() {
        float timeOfDay = (llGetUnixTime() + llGetRegionDayOffset()) % llGetRegionDayLength() * 1.0 / llGetRegionDayLength();
        llSetText(printTimeOfDay(timeOfDay), <1,1,0>, 1);
    }
}
```
