        number of digits is also chosen such that time values are represented
        accurately.

        For built-in date-like string formats, one of 'date_hms', 'date_hm', or
        'date' (or 'longdate_hms', etc., for 5-digit years in
        `~astropy.time.TimeFITS`).  For sub-formats including seconds, the
        number of digits used for the fractional seconds is as set by
        `~astropy.time.Time.precision`.

        ----------
        format : str

            values should be given.  The default of '*' picks the first
            available for a given format, i.e., 'float' or 'date_hms'.
            If `None`, use the instance's ``out_subfmt``.

class TimeDelta(TimeBase):
    """
    Represent the time difference between two times.

    A TimeDelta object is initialized with one or more times in the ``val``
    argument.  The input times in ``val`` must conform to the specified
    ``format``.  The optional ``val2`` time input should be supplied only for
    numeric input formats (e.g. JD) where very high precision (better than
    64-bit precision) is required.

    The allowed values for ``format`` can be listed with::

      >>> list(TimeDelta.FORMATS)
      ['sec', 'jd', 'datetime', 'quantity_str']

    Note that for time differences, the scale can be among three groups:
    geocentric ('tai', 'tt', 'tcg'), barycentric ('tcb', 'tdb'), and rotational
    ('ut1'). Within each of these, the scales for time differences are the
    same. Conversion between geocentric and barycentric is possible, as there
    is only a scale factor change, but one cannot convert to or from 'ut1', as
    this requires knowledge of the actual times, not just their difference. For
    a similar reason, 'utc' is not a valid scale for a time difference: a UTC
    day is not always 86400 seconds.

    For more information see:

    - https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/time/
    - https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/time/index.html#time-deltas

    Parameters
    ----------
    val : sequence, ndarray, number, `~astropy.units.Quantity` or `~astropy.time.TimeDelta` object
        Value(s) to initialize the time difference(s). Any quantities will
        be converted appropriately (with care taken to avoid rounding
        errors for regular time units).
    val2 : sequence, ndarray, number, or `~astropy.units.Quantity`; optional
        Additional values, as needed to preserve precision.
    format : str, optional
        Format of input value(s). For numerical inputs without units,
        "jd" is assumed and values are interpreted as days.
        A deprecation warning is raised in this case. To avoid the warning,
        either specify the format or add units to the input values.
    scale : str, optional
        Time scale of input value(s), must be one of the following values:
        ('tdb', 'tt', 'ut1', 'tcg', 'tcb', 'tai'). If not given (or
        ``None``), the scale is arbitrary; when added or subtracted from a
        ``Time`` instance, it will be used without conversion.
    precision : int, optional
        Digits of precision in string representation of time
    in_subfmt : str, optional
        Unix glob to select subformats for parsing input times
    out_subfmt : str, optional
        Unix glob to select subformat for outputting times
