20  * \brief C API: DateFormat
21  *
22  * <h2> Date Format C API</h2>
23  *
24  * Date Format C API  consists of functions that convert dates and
25  * times from their internal representations to textual form and back again in a
26  * language-independent manner. Converting from the internal representation (milliseconds
27  * since midnight, January 1, 1970) to text is known as "formatting," and converting
28  * from text to millis is known as "parsing."  We currently define only one concrete
29  * structure UDateFormat, which can handle pretty much all normal
30  * date formatting and parsing actions.
31  * <P>
32  * Date Format helps you to format and parse dates for any locale. Your code can
33  * be completely independent of the locale conventions for months, days of the
34  * week, or even the calendar format: lunar vs. solar.
35  * <P>
36  * To format a date for the current Locale with default time and date style,
37  * use one of the static factory methods:
38  * <pre>
39  * \code
40  *  UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
41  *  UChar *myString;
42  *  int32_t myStrlen = 0;
43  *  UDateFormat* dfmt = udat_open(UDAT_DEFAULT, UDAT_DEFAULT, NULL, NULL, -1, NULL, -1, &status);
44  *  myStrlen = udat_format(dfmt, myDate, NULL, myStrlen, NULL, &status);
45  *  if (status==U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
46  *      status=U_ZERO_ERROR;
47  *      myString=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (myStrlen+1) );
48  *      udat_format(dfmt, myDate, myString, myStrlen+1, NULL, &status);
49  *  }
50  * \endcode
51  * </pre>
52  * If you are formatting multiple numbers, it is more efficient to get the
53  * format and use it multiple times so that the system doesn't have to fetch the
54  * information about the local language and country conventions multiple times.
55  * <pre>
56  * \code
57  *  UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
58  *  int32_t i, myStrlen = 0;
59  *  UChar* myString;
60  *  char buffer[1024];
61  *  UDate myDateArr[] = { 0.0, 100000000.0, 2000000000.0 }; // test values
62  *  UDateFormat* df = udat_open(UDAT_DEFAULT, UDAT_DEFAULT, NULL, NULL, -1, NULL, 0, &status);
63  *  for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
64  *      myStrlen = udat_format(df, myDateArr[i], NULL, myStrlen, NULL, &status);
65  *      if(status == U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
66  *          status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
67  *          myString = (UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (myStrlen+1) );
68  *          udat_format(df, myDateArr[i], myString, myStrlen+1, NULL, &status);
69  *          printf("%s\n", u_austrcpy(buffer, myString) );
70  *          free(myString);
71  *      }
72  *  }
73  * \endcode
74  * </pre>
75  * To get specific fields of a date, you can use UFieldPosition to
76  * get specific fields.
77  * <pre>
78  * \code
79  *  UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
80  *  UFieldPosition pos;
81  *  UChar *myString;
82  *  int32_t myStrlen = 0;
83  *  char buffer[1024];
84  *
85  *  pos.field = 1;  // Same as the DateFormat::EField enum
86  *  UDateFormat* dfmt = udat_open(UDAT_DEFAULT, UDAT_DEFAULT, NULL, -1, NULL, 0, &status);
87  *  myStrlen = udat_format(dfmt, myDate, NULL, myStrlen, &pos, &status);
88  *  if (status==U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
89  *      status=U_ZERO_ERROR;
90  *      myString=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (myStrlen+1) );
91  *      udat_format(dfmt, myDate, myString, myStrlen+1, &pos, &status);
92  *  }
93  *  printf("date format: %s\n", u_austrcpy(buffer, myString));
94  *  buffer[pos.endIndex] = 0;   // NULL terminate the string.
95  *  printf("UFieldPosition position equals %s\n", &buffer[pos.beginIndex]);
96  * \endcode
97  * </pre>
98  * To format a date for a different Locale, specify it in the call to
99  * udat_open()
100  * <pre>
101  * \code
102  *        UDateFormat* df = udat_open(UDAT_SHORT, UDAT_SHORT, "fr_FR", NULL, -1, NULL, 0, &status);
103  * \endcode
104  * </pre>
105  * You can use a DateFormat API udat_parse() to parse.
106  * <pre>
107  * \code
108  *  UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
109  *  int32_t parsepos=0;
110  *  UDate myDate = udat_parse(df, myString, u_strlen(myString), &parsepos, &status);
111  * \endcode
112  * </pre>
113  *  You can pass in different options for the arguments for date and time style
114  *  to control the length of the result; from SHORT to MEDIUM to LONG to FULL.
115  *  The exact result depends on the locale, but generally:
116  *  see UDateFormatStyle for more details
117  * <ul type=round>
118  *   <li>   UDAT_SHORT is completely numeric, such as 12/13/52 or 3:30pm
119  *   <li>   UDAT_MEDIUM is longer, such as Jan 12, 1952
120  *   <li>   UDAT_LONG is longer, such as January 12, 1952 or 3:30:32pm
121  *   <li>   UDAT_FULL is pretty completely specified, such as
122  *          Tuesday, April 12, 1952 AD or 3:30:42pm PST.
123  * </ul>
124  * You can also set the time zone on the format if you wish.
125  * <P>
126  * You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with Parse Position and
127  * UFieldPosition to allow you to
128  * <ul type=round>
129  *   <li>   Progressively parse through pieces of a string.
130  *   <li>   Align any particular field, or find out where it is for selection
131  *          on the screen.
132  * </ul>
