    Return a fixed frequency DatetimeIndex, with CustomBusinessDay as the

    Parameters
    ----------
    start : string or datetime-like, default None
        Left bound for generating dates
    end : string or datetime-like, default None
        Right bound for generating dates
    periods : integer, default None
        Number of periods to generate
    freq : string or DateOffset, default 'C' (CustomBusinessDay)
        Frequency strings can have multiples, e.g. '5H'
    tz : string, default None
        Time zone name for returning localized DatetimeIndex, for example
        Asia/Beijing
    normalize : bool, default False
        Normalize start/end dates to midnight before generating date range
    name : string, default None
        Name of the resulting DatetimeIndex
    weekmask : string, Default 'Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri'
        weekmask of valid business days, passed to ``numpy.busdaycalendar``
    holidays : list
        list/array of dates to exclude from the set of valid business days,
        passed to ``numpy.busdaycalendar``
    closed : string, default None
        Make the interval closed with respect to the given frequency to
        the 'left', 'right', or both sides (None)

    Notes
    -----
    Of the three parameters: ``start``, ``end``, and ``periods``, exactly two
    must be specified.
