e_time_parse_date_and_time ()

ETimeParseStatus    e_time_parse_date_and_time          (const gchar *value,
                                                         struct tm *result);

Parses a string value containing a date and a time and stores the result in result. The date in value is expected to be in a format like "Wed 3/13/00 14:20:00", though gettext() is used to support the appropriate local formats. There is also some leniency on the format of the string, e.g. the weekday can be skipped or 12-hour formats with am/pm can be used.

e_time_parse_date ()

ETimeParseStatus    e_time_parse_date                   (const gchar *value,
                                                         struct tm *result);

Takes in a date string entered by the user and tries to convert it to a struct tm.

e_time_parse_date_and_time_ex ()

ETimeParseStatus    e_time_parse_date_and_time_ex       (const gchar *value,
                                                         struct tm *result,

Parses a string value containing a date and a time and stores the result in result. The date in value is expected to be in a format like "Wed 3/13/00 14:20:00", though gettext() is used to support the appropriate local formats. There is also some leniency on the format of the string, e.g. the weekday can be skipped or 12-hour formats with am/pm can be used.

                                                         struct tm *result,

Takes in a date string entered by the user and tries to convert it to a struct tm.

e_time_parse_time ()

ETimeParseStatus    e_time_parse_time                   (const gchar *value,
                                                         struct tm *result);

Parses value, a string containing a time. value is expected to be in a format like "14:20:00". gettext() is used to support the appropriate local formats and slightly different formats, such as 12-hour formats with am/pm, are accepted as well.

e_time_format_date_and_time ()

void                e_time_format_date_and_time         (struct tm *date_tm,
                                                         gboolean use_24_hour_format,
                                                         gboolean show_midnight,
                                                         gboolean show_zero_seconds,
                                                         gchar *buffer,
                                                         gint buffer_size);

Creates a string representation of the time value date_tm and stores it in buffer. buffer_size should be at least 64 to be safe. If show_midnight is FALSE, and the time is midnight, then only the date is stored in buffer. If show_zero_seconds is FALSE, then if the time has zero seconds only the hour and minute of the time are stored in buffer.

e_time_format_time ()

void                e_time_format_time                  (struct tm *date_tm,
                                                         gboolean use_24_hour_format,
                                                         gboolean show_zero_seconds,
                                                         gchar *buffer,
                                                         gint buffer_size);

Creates a string representation of a time value in date_tm and stores it in buffer. buffer_size should be at least 64.

e_mktime_utc ()

time_t              e_mktime_utc                        (struct tm *tm);

Like mktime(3), but assumes UTC instead of local timezone.

e_localtime_with_offset ()

void                e_localtime_with_offset             (time_t tt,
                                                         struct tm *tm,
                                                         gint *offset);

Converts the calendar time time representation tt to a broken-down time representation, store in tm, and provides the offset in seconds from UTC time, stored in offset.

e_time_get_d_fmt_with_4digit_year ()

gchar *             e_time_get_d_fmt_with_4digit_year   (void);

Retrieves a date format string with a 4-digit year (D_FMT on systems with nl_langinfo() available). Free the returned string with g_free().
