class TDatime


TDatime

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

Function documentation

TDatime()
 Create a TDatime and set it to the current time.
TDatime(Int_t date, Int_t time)
 Create a TDatime and set it to the specified date and time.
 See Set(Int_t, Int_t) about the date, time format.
TDatime(Int_t year, 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.
TDatime(const char *sqlDateTime)
 Expects as input a string in SQL date/time compatible format, like:
 yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.
Int_t GetDayOfWeek()
 Returns day of week, with Monday being day 1 and Sunday day 7.
const char * AsString(char* out) const
 Return the date & time as a string (ctime() format).
 Copy result because it points to a statically allocated string.
const char * 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.
const char * AsSQLString()
 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.
UInt_t 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));

 Caution: the time_t returned from Convert(kTRUE) is incompatible with
 regular Unix time - it contains an artificial, locale-dependent offset.
void Copy(TDatime& datime) const
 Copy this to datime.
void FillBuffer(char*& buffer)
 Encode Date/Time into buffer, used by I/O system.
Int_t GetDate()
 Return date in form of 19971224 (i.e. 24/12/1997)
Int_t GetTime()
 Return time in form of 123623 (i.e. 12:36:23)
void Print(Option_t* option = "") const
 Print date and time.
void ReadBuffer(char*& buffer)
 Decode Date/Time from output buffer, used by I/O system.
void Set(const char* sqlDateTime)
 Set Date/Time to current time as reported by the system.
 Date and Time are encoded into one single unsigned 32 bit word.
 Date is stored with the origin being the 1st january 1995.
 Time has 1 second precision.
void Set(UInt_t tloc, Bool_t dosDate)
 The input arg is a time_t value returned by time() or a value
 returned by Convert(). 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.
void Set(Int_t date, Int_t time)
 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
void Set(Int_t year, Int_t month, Int_t day, Int_t hour, Int_t min, Int_t sec)
 Set date and time. Year may be xx where 95 <= xx <= 199 (199 being 2099).
 The year must be >= 1995.
void Set(const char* sqlDateTime)
 Expects as input a string in SQL date/time compatible format, like:
 yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.
void Streamer(TBuffer& b)
 Stream a object of type TDatime.
void GetDateTime(UInt_t datetime, Int_t& date, Int_t& time)
 Static function that returns the date and time. The input is
 in TDatime format (as obtained via TDatime::Get()).
 Date is returned in the format 950223  February 23 1995.
 Time is returned in the format 102459 10h 24m 59s.
TDatime& operator=(const TDatime& d)
{ fDatime = d.fDatime; return *this; }
TDatime()
TDatime(const TDatime &d)
{ }
virtual ~TDatime()
{ }
UInt_t Get()
{ return fDatime; }
Int_t GetYear()
{ return (fDatime>>26) + 1995; }
Int_t GetMonth()
{ return (fDatime<<6)>>28; }
Int_t GetDay()
{ return (fDatime<<10)>>27; }
Int_t GetHour()
{ return (fDatime<<15)>>27; }
Int_t GetMinute()
{ return (fDatime<<20)>>26; }
Int_t GetSecond()
{ return (fDatime<<26)>>26; }
Int_t Sizeof()
{return sizeof(UInt_t);}
