  new.time,
  equal = FALSE,
  type = c("nearest", "right", "left"),
  sorted = FALSE,
  ...
)

`new.time`	New time points
`equal`	If TRUE a list is returned with additional element
`type`	Type of matching, nearest index, nearest greater than or equal (right), number of elements smaller than y otherwise the closest value above new.time is returned.
