<div class="refsect1" title="Description">
<a name="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
The <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> data structure represents a day between January 1, Year 1,
and sometime a few thousand years in the future (right now it will go
to the year 65535 or so, but <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-set-parse" title="g_date_set_parse ()"><code class="function">g_date_set_parse()</code></a> only parses up to the
year 8000 or so - just count on "a few thousand"). <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> is meant to
represent everyday dates, not astronomical dates or historical dates
or ISO timestamps or the like. It extrapolates the current Gregorian
calendar forward and backward in time; there is no attempt to change
the calendar to match time periods or locations. <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> does not store
time information; it represents a <span class="emphasis"><em>day</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
The <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> implementation has several nice features; it is only a
64-bit struct, so storing large numbers of dates is very efficient. It
can keep both a Julian and day-month-year representation of the date,
since some calculations are much easier with one representation or the
other. A Julian representation is simply a count of days since some
fixed day in the past; for <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> the fixed day is January 1, 1 AD.
("Julian" dates in the <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> API aren't really Julian dates in the
technical sense; technically, Julian dates count from the start of the
Julian period, Jan 1, 4713 BC).
</p>
<p>
<a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> is simple to use. First you need a "blank" date; you can get a
dynamically allocated date from <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-new" title="g_date_new ()"><code class="function">g_date_new()</code></a>, or you can declare an
automatic variable or array and initialize it to a sane state by
calling <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-clear" title="g_date_clear ()"><code class="function">g_date_clear()</code></a>. A cleared date is sane; it's safe to call
<a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-set-dmy" title="g_date_set_dmy ()"><code class="function">g_date_set_dmy()</code></a> and the other mutator functions to initialize the
value of a cleared date. However, a cleared date is initially
<span class="emphasis"><em>invalid</em></span>, meaning that it doesn't represent a day
that exists. It is undefined to call any of the date calculation
routines on an invalid date. If you obtain a date from a user or other
unpredictable source, you should check its validity with the
<a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-valid" title="g_date_valid ()"><code class="function">g_date_valid()</code></a> predicate. <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-valid" title="g_date_valid ()"><code class="function">g_date_valid()</code></a> is also used to check for
errors with <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-set-parse" title="g_date_set_parse ()"><code class="function">g_date_set_parse()</code></a> and other functions that can
fail. Dates can be invalidated by calling <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-clear" title="g_date_clear ()"><code class="function">g_date_clear()</code></a> again.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>It is very important to use the API to access the <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a>
struct.</em></span> Often only the day-month-year or only the Julian
representation is valid. Sometimes neither is valid. Use the API.
</p>
<p>
GLib doesn't contain any time-manipulation functions; however, there
is a <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GTime" title="GTime"><span class="type">GTime</span></a> typedef and a <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GTimeVal" title="GTimeVal"><span class="type">GTimeVal</span></a> struct which represents a more
precise time (with microseconds). You can request the current time as
a <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GTimeVal" title="GTimeVal"><span class="type">GTimeVal</span></a> with <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-get-current-time" title="g_get_current_time ()"><code class="function">g_get_current_time()</code></a>.

Note that <span class="type">GTime</span> is defined to always be a 32bit integer,
unlike <span class="type">time_t</span> which may be 64bit on some systems.
Therefore, <span class="type">GTime</span> will overflow in the year 2038, and
you cannot use the address of a <span class="type">GTime</span> variable as argument

<p>
Parses a user-inputted string <em class="parameter"><code>str</code></em>, and try to figure out what date it
represents, taking the <a class="link" href="glib-running.html#setlocale" title="Locale">current locale</a>
into account. If the string is successfully parsed, the date will be
valid after the call. Otherwise, it will be invalid. You should check
using <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-valid" title="g_date_valid ()"><code class="function">g_date_valid()</code></a> to see whether the parsing succeeded.
</p>
<p>
This function is not appropriate for file formats and the like; it
isn't very precise, and its exact behavior varies with the
locale. It's intended to be a heuristic routine that guesses what the
user means by a given string (and it does work pretty well in that
capacity).

<p>
Generates a printed representation of the date, in a
<a class="link" href="glib-running.html#setlocale" title="Locale">locale</a>-specific way. Works just like
the platform's C library <code class="function">strftime()</code> function, but only accepts date-related
formats; time-related formats give undefined results. Date must be valid.
Unlike <code class="function">strftime()</code> (which uses the locale encoding), works on a UTF-8 format
string and stores a UTF-8 result.
</p>
<p>
This function does not provide any conversion specifiers in addition
to those implemented by the platform's C library. For example, don't
expect that using <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-strftime" title="g_date_strftime ()"><code class="function">g_date_strftime()</code></a> would make the <code class="literal">F</code> provided by the C99
<code class="function">strftime()</code> work on Windows where the C library only complies to C89.
