DwDatetime represents a date-time as described in RFC-822 and RFC-1123. The parse method for DwDateTime parses the string representation to extract the year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and time zone. DwDateTime provides member functions to set or get the individual components of the date-time.
DwDateTime()
DwDateTime(const DwDateTime& aDateTime)
DwDateTime(const DwString& aStr, DwMessageComponent* aParent=0)
The first constructor is the default constructor, which assigns the current date and time as reported by the operating system.
The second constructor is the copy constructor. The tqparent of the new DwDateTime object is set to NULL.
The third constructor sets aStr as the DwDateTime object's string representation and sets aParent as its tqparent. The virtual member function Parse() should be called after this constructor to extract the date and time information from the string representation. Unless it is NULL, aParent should point to an object of a class derived from DwField.
const DwDateTime& operator = (const DwDateTime& aDateTime)
This is the assignment operator, which sets this DwDateTime object to the same value as aDateTime.
virtual void Parse()
This virtual function, inherited from DwMessageComponent, executes the parse method for DwDateTime objects. The parse method creates or updates the broken-down representation from the string representation. For DwDateTime objects, the parse method parses the string representation to extract the year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and time zone.
This function clears the is-modified flag.
virtual void Assemble()
This virtual function, inherited from DwMessageComponent, executes the assemble method for DwDateTime objects. It should be called whenever one of the object's attributes is changed in order to assemble the string representation from its broken-down representation. It will be called automatically for this object by the tqparent object's Assemble() member function if the is-modified flag is set.
This function clears the is-modified flag.
virtual DwMessageComponent* Clone() const
This virtual function, inherited from DwMessageComponent, creates a new DwDateTime on the free store that has the same value as this DwDateTime object. The basic idea is that of a virtual copy constructor.
DwUint32 AsUnixTime() const
Returns the date and time as a UNIX (POSIX) time, defined as the number of seconds elapsed since 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC.
void FromUnixTime(DwUint32 aTime)
Sets the date and time from aTime, interpreted as the number of of seconds elapsed since 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC.
time_t AsCalendarTime() const
Returns the date and time as a value of type time_t that conforms to the native format returned by the time() ANSI C function. On most UNIX systems, this function returns the same value as AsUnixTime(). (For efficiency, use AsUnixTime() instead of AsCalendarTime() if possible).
void FromCalendarTime(time_t aTime)
Sets the date and time from aTime, which is assumed to be in a format compatible with the native time() ANSI C function. For most UNIX systems, this function is the same as the function FromUnixTime(). (For efficiency, use FromUnixTime() instead of FromCalendarTime() if possible).
DwInt32 DateAsJulianDayNum() const
Returns the Julian Day Number, defined as the number of days elapsed since 1 Jan 4713 BC. The JDN is calculated directly from the values of the year, month, and day; time zone information is ignored.
void DateFromJulianDayNum(DwInt32 aJdn)
Sets the year, month, and day from aJdn, interpreted as a Julian Day Number. By definition, the JDN is the number of days elapsed since 1 Jan 4713 BC. This member function ignores time zone information.
DwInt32 TimeAsSecsPastMidnight() const
Returns the number of seconds past midnight. The value is calculated directly from the values of the hour, minute, and second; time zone information is ignored.
void TimeFromSecsPastMidnight(DwInt32 aSecs)
Sets the hour, minute, and second from aSecs, interpreted as the number of seconds elapsed since midnight. This member function ignores time zone information. The argument aSecs should be in the range 0 to 86399, inclusive.
int Year() const
Returns the four digit year, e.g. 1997.
void SetYear(int aYear)
Sets the year from aYear, which should be a four digit year.
int Month() const
Returns the month. Values range from 1 to 12.
void SetMonth(int aMonth)
Sets the month from aMonth, which should be in the range 1 to 12.
int Day() const
Returns the day of the month. Values range from 1 to 31.
void SetDay(int aDay)
Sets the day of the month from aDay.
int Hour() const
Returns the hour according to the 24 hour clock. Values range from 0 to 23.
void SetHour(int aHour)
Sets the hour from aHour based on the 24-hour clock. aHour should be in the range 0 to 23.
int Minute() const
Returns the minute. Values range from 0 to 59.
void SetMinute(int aMinute)
Sets the minute from aMinute, which should be in the range 0 to 59.
int Second() const
Returns the second. Values range from 0 to 59.
void SetSecond(int aSecond)
Sets the second from aSecond, which should be in the range 0 to 59.
int Zone() const
Returns the time zone as the diffence in minutes between local time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC or GMT).
void SetZone(int aZone)
Sets the time zone from aZone, interpreted as the time difference in minutes between local time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, or GMT).
static void SetDefaultZone(int aZone)
Sets the default time zone. aZone should be the time difference in minutes between local time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, or GMT). The value is used to set the time zone for any objects created using the default constructor.
static DwDateTime* NewDateTime(const DwString&, DwMessageComponent*)
Creates a new DwDateTime object on the free store. If the static data member sNewDateTime is NULL, this member function will create a new DwDateTime and return it. Otherwise, NewDateTime() will call the user-supplied function pointed to by sNewDateTime, which is assumed to return an object from a class derived from DwDateTime, and return that object.
virtual void PrintDebugInfo(ostream& aStrm, int aDepth=0) const
This virtual function, inherited from DwMessageComponent, prints debugging information about this object to aStrm.
This member function is available only in the debug version of the library.
virtual void CheckInvariants() const
Aborts if one of the invariants of the object fails. Use this member function to track down bugs.
This member function is available only in the debug version of the library.
static DwDateTime* (*sNewDateTime)(const DwString&, DwMessageComponent*)
If sNewDateTime is not NULL, it is assumed to point to a user-supplied function that returns an object from a class derived from DwDateTime.
void _FromUnixTime(DwUint32 aTime)
Like FromUnixTime(), but doesn't set the is-modified flag.
void _FromCalendarTime(time_t aTime)
Like FromCalendarTime(), but doesn't set the is-modified flag.
