<h1>EADateTime</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>EADateTime provides a unified implementation of date, time, and calendar functionality.
The DateTime class represents date and time in a single class. Unlike other
date/time systems, this class doesn't have a strictly limited resolution, due
to its use of 64 bits (instead of 32 bits) of storage for the date/time value.
</p>
<p> EADateTime supports the modern Gregorian calendar correctly, including such
concepts as leap years. You can, for example, use EADateTime to implement proper
calendar functionality for your application.</p>
<p>The C standard library provides some time and date functionality, but it is
slow, has some limitations, is not very easy to use, and isn't supported by
all C/C++ compilers. Writing a calendar application with the C time and date
functions would be possible, but would be tedious and error-prone.</p>
<p>EADateTime does not support the formatting of date and time strings for display
to a users. Such functionality is outside the scope of this class, primarily
due to the issue of multiple string encodings (e.g. ASCII and Unicode) and due
to the existence of multiple locales (e.g. English and French) which use different
formats for time and date strings. A separate module -- EALocale -- exists which
implements string formatting of dates and times. You can use that module and
EADateTime together to implement locale-savvy times, dates, and calendars.</p>
<h2>Example usage </h2>
<p>All examples presume a <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono" size="-1">#include
&quot;Foundation/EADateTime.h&quot;</font> and assume the using of <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono" size="-1">namespace
EA</font>.</p>
<p>Basic usage of class DateTime:</p>
<pre class="code-example">DateTime dt; // Sets dt to the current date and time.
uint32_t year = dt.GetParameter(kParameterYear); // Get the current year.
dt.SetParameter(kParameterMonth, kMonthAugust); // Set month to August.
dt.AddTime(kParameterDayOfYear, 77); // Add 77 days.</pre>
<p>Comparison of DateTime instances:</p>
<pre class="code-example">DateTime dtD(2008, kMonthDecember, 25); // Sets dt to Christmas 2008.
DateTime dtH(2008, kMonthOctober, 31); // Sets dt to Halloween 2008.
if(dtH &lt; dtD)
printf(&quot;Halloween occurs before Christmas.&quot;);
else
printf(&quot;Christmas occurs before Halloween.&quot;);</pre>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<p>How to save and restore a DateTime to and from disk:</p>
<pre><span class="code-example">DateTime dt;
uint64_t n = dt.GetSeconds(); // Get the absolute time in seconds. This alone fully represents a DateTime.
WriteToDisk64(ToBigEndian(n)); // Hypthetical disk writing function and endian conversion function.
n = FromBigEndian(ReadFromDisk64()); // Hypothetical disk reading function and endian conversion function.
dt = DateTime(n); // Restore the saved value to a DateTime instance.</span></pre>
<p>Usage of standalone EADateTime utility functions, which are independent of
class DateTime: </p>
<pre class="code-example">bool b = IsLeapYear(2015);
uint32_t n = GetDaysInYear(1974);
uint32_t d = GetDaysInMonth(kMonthMarch, 2007);
int64_t nSeconds = GetDaylightSavingsBias();</pre>
<h2></h2>
Conversion of C time to DateTime:
<pre class="code-example">#include &lt;time.h&gt;
tm time;
asctime(&amp;ascTime); // Get C time.
DateTime dt;
TmToDateTime(time, dt); // Convert to DateTime.</pre>
