Package: DateTime
Header: Poco/DateTime.h
This class represents an instant in time, expressed in years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds based on the Gregorian calendar. The class is mainly useful for conversions between UTC, Julian day and Gregorian calendar dates.
The date and time stored in a DateTime is always in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) and thus independent of the timezone in effect on the system.
Conversion calculations are based on algorithms collected and described by Peter Baum at http://vsg.cape.com/~pbaum/date/date0.htm
Internally, this class stores a date/time in two forms (UTC and broken down) for performance reasons. Only use this class for conversions between date/time representations. Use the Timestamp class for everything else.

int day,
int hour = 0,
int minute = 0,
int second = 0,
int millisecond = 0,
int microseconds = 0
);
Assigns a Gregorian date and time.
int day() const;
Returns the day witin the month (1 to 31).
int dayOfWeek() const;
Returns the weekday (0 to 6, where 0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, ..., 6 = Saturday).
int dayOfYear() const;
Returns the number of the day in the year. January 1 is 1, February 1 is 32, etc.
static int daysOfMonth(
int year,
int month
);
Returns the number of days in the given month and year. Month is from 1 to 12.
int hour() const;
Returns the hour (0 to 23).
int hourAMPM() const;
Returns the hour (0 to 12).
bool isAM() const;
Returns true if hour < 12;
static bool isLeapYear(
int year
);
Returns true if the given year is a leap year; false otherwise.
bool isPM() const;
Returns true if hour >= 12.
static bool isValid(
int year,
int month,
int day,
int hour = 0,
int minute = 0,
int second = 0,
int millisecond = 0,
int microsecond = 0
);
Checks if the given date and time is valid (all arguments are within a proper range).
Returns true if all arguments are valid, false otherwise.
double julianDay() const;
Returns the julian day for the date and time.
void makeLocal(
int tzd
);
Converts a UTC time into a local time, by applying the given time zone differential.
void makeUTC(
int tzd
);
Converts a local time into UTC, by applying the given time zone differential.
int microsecond() const;
Returns the microsecond (0 to 999)
int millisecond() const;
Returns the millisecond (0 to 999)
int minute() const;
Returns the minute (0 to 59).
int month() const;
Returns the month (1 to 12).
bool operator != (
const DateTime & dateTime
) const;
DateTime operator + (
const Timespan & span
) const;
DateTime & operator += (
const Timespan & span
);
DateTime operator - (
const Timespan & span
) const;
Timespan operator - (
const DateTime & dateTime
) const;
DateTime & operator -= (
const Timespan & span
);
bool operator < (
const DateTime & dateTime
) const;
bool operator <= (
const DateTime & dateTime
) const;
DateTime & operator = (
const DateTime & dateTime
);
Assigns another DateTime.
DateTime & operator = (
const Timestamp & timestamp
);
Assigns a Timestamp.
DateTime & operator = (
double julianDay
);
Assigns a Julian day.
bool operator == (
const DateTime & dateTime
) const;
bool operator > (
const DateTime & dateTime
) const;
bool operator >= (
const DateTime & dateTime
) const;
int second() const;
Returns the second (0 to 59).
void swap(
DateTime & dateTime
);
Swaps the DateTime with another one.
Timestamp timestamp() const;
Returns the date and time expressed as a Timestamp.
Timestamp::UtcTimeVal utcTime() const;
Returns the date and time expressed in UTC-based time. UTC base time is midnight, October 15, 1582. Resolution is 100 nanoseconds.
int week(
int firstDayOfWeek = MONDAY
) const;
Returns the week number within the year. FirstDayOfWeek should be either SUNDAY (0) or MONDAY (1). The returned week number will be from 0 to 53. Week number 1 is the week containing January 4. This is in accordance to ISO 8601.
The following example assumes that firstDayOfWeek is MONDAY. For 2005, which started on a Saturday, week 1 will be the week starting on Monday, January 3. January 1 and 2 will fall within week 0 (or the last week of the previous year).
For 2007, which starts on a Monday, week 1 will be the week startung on Monday, January 1. There will be no week 0 in 2007.
int year() const;
Returns the year.
void computeDaytime();
Extracts the daytime (hours, minutes, seconds, etc.) from the stored utcTime.
void computeGregorian(
double julianDay
);
Computes the Gregorian date for the given Julian day. See <http://vsg.cape.com/~pbaum/date/injdimp.htm>, section 3.3.1 for the algorithm.
static double toJulianDay(
Timestamp::UtcTimeVal utcTime
);
Computes the Julian day for an UTC time.
static double toJulianDay(
int year,
int month,
int day,
int hour = 0,
int minute = 0,
int second = 0,
int millisecond = 0,
int microsecond = 0
);
Computes the Julian day for a gregorian calendar date and time. See <http://vsg.cape.com/~pbaum/date/jdimp.htm>, section 2.3.1 for the algorithm.
static Timestamp::UtcTimeVal toUtcTime(
double julianDay
);
Computes the UTC time for a Julian day.
