TDatime Class Reference

This class stores the date and time with a precision of one second in an unsigned 32 bit word (950130 124559).

The date is stored with the origin being the 1st January 1995.

This class has no support for time zones. The time is assumed to be in the local time of the machine where the object was created. As a result, TDatime objects are not portable between machines operating in different time zones and unsuitable for storing the date/time of data taking events and the like. If absolute time is required, use TTimeStamp.

Int_t  time 
)

See Set(Int_t, Int_t) about the date, time format.

Definition at line 58 of file TDatime.cxx.

◆ TDatime() [5/6]

Int_t  month,
Int_t  day,
Int_t  hour,
Int_t  min,
Int_t  sec 
)

Create a TDatime and set it to the specified year, month, day, time, hour, minute and second.

See Set() about the format.

Definition at line 67 of file TDatime.cxx.

◆ TDatime() [6/6]

TDatime::TDatime ( const char *  sqlDateTime)

Expects as input a string in SQL date/time compatible format, like: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AsSQLString()

const char * TDatime::AsSQLString ( ) const

Return the date & time in SQL compatible string format, like: 1997-01-15 20:16:28.

The returned string buffer is static and will be reused.

Definition at line 151 of file TDatime.cxx.

◆ AsString() [1/2]

const char * TDatime::AsString ( ) const

Return the date & time as a string (ctime() format).

Copy result because it points to a statically allocated string.

Definition at line 101 of file TDatime.cxx.

◆ AsString() [2/2]

const char * TDatime::AsString ( char *  out) const

Return the date & time as a string (ctime() format).

Result is copied into out (and out is returned). Make sure out can at least contain 26 characters. Thread safe.

Definition at line 120 of file TDatime.cxx.

◆ Convert()

UInt_t TDatime::Convert ( Bool_t  toGMT = kFALSE) const

Convert fDatime from TDatime format to the standard time_t format.

If toGMT is true, the time offset of the current local time zone is subtracted from the returned time_t. One use of such a non-standard time_t value is to convert a TDatime object that contains local time to GMT, as in this example:

TDatime now;
now.Set(now.Convert(kTRUE));
const Bool_t kTRUE
Definition: RtypesCore.h:87
This class stores the date and time with a precision of one second in an unsigned 32 bit word (950130...
Definition: TDatime.h:37
void Set()
Set Date/Time to current time as reported by the system.
Definition: TDatime.cxx:288
UInt_t Convert(Bool_t toGMT=kFALSE) const
Convert fDatime from TDatime format to the standard time_t format.
Definition: TDatime.cxx:181

Caution: the time_t returned from Convert(kTRUE) is incompatible with regular Unix time - it contains an artificial, locale-dependent offset.

Definition at line 181 of file TDatime.cxx.

◆ Copy()

void TDatime::Copy ( TDatime datime) const

◆ Get()

UInt_t TDatime::Get ( ) const

Return raw date/time as encoded by TDatime.

Note, this value cannot be used to e.g. calculate time differences, as it is an encoded value. To calculate time differences use the Convert() method to get a time in seconds and then subtract the values.

Definition at line 469 of file TDatime.cxx.

◆ GetDateTime()

void TDatime::GetDateTime ( UInt_t  datetime,
Int_t date,
Int_t time 
)
static

Static function that returns the date and time.

Definition at line 85 of file TDatime.cxx.

◆ GetGlobalDayFromDate()

Int_t TDatime::GetGlobalDayFromDate ( Int_t  date)
static

Static function that returns the global day number from date.

The input is in TDatime format yyyymmdd (as obtained via TDatime::GetDate()). This algorithm is only accurate for dates later than October 1582 (earliest date on Gregorian calendar).

Definition at line 452 of file TDatime.cxx.

◆ GetHour()

Int_t TDatime::GetHour ( ) const
inline

Definition at line 69 of file TDatime.h.

Int_t TDatime::GetLegalGlobalDayFromDate ( Int_t  date)
static

Static function that returns the global day number from date.

The input is in TDatime format yyyymmdd (as obtained via TDatime::GetDate()). This algorithm is only accurate for dates later than October 1582 (earliest date on Gregorian calendar) and it is checked that the date is larger than 15821001 and conversion is correct. In case of conversion failure 0 is returned. No need to use when you know dates are larger than October 1582.

Set date and time.

Data must be in format 980418 or 19980418 and time in 224512 (second precision). The date must be >= 950101.

For years >= 2000, date can be given in the form 20001127 or 1001127 internally the date will be converted to 1001127

◆ Set() [4/5]

void TDatime::Set ( Int_t  year,
Int_t  month,
Int_t  day,
Int_t  hour,
Int_t  min,

Year may be xx where 95 <= xx <= 158 (158 being 2058). The year must be >= 1995.

Definition at line 387 of file TDatime.cxx.

◆ Set() [5/5]

void TDatime::Set ( UInt_t  tloc,

This value is the number of seconds since the EPOCH (i.e. 00:00:00 on Jan 1m 1970). If dosDate is true then the input is a dosDate value.
