years-from-duration

Returns an xs:integer representing the years component in the value of $arg. The result is obtained by casting $arg to an xs:yearMonthDuration.

Syntax

fn:years-from-duration(arg)

Argument	Required/ Optional	Description
arg	Required	Numeric data type. Passes the argument as a duration that must be converted to years.

Return Value

If $arg is an empty sequence, the function returns the empty sequence. Otherwise, the function returns an xs:integer representing the years component in the value of $arg. Given that a duration is a ($months, $seconds) tuple, the result is the value of ($months idiv 12).
