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