Detailed Description

Holds absolute and relative date/time values in Qore with precision to the microsecond.

Date arithmetic and date formatting is supported by this class. As of qore 0.8.0, the internal representation for absolute date/time values has changed. Now, absolute date/time values are stored internally as a 64-bit offset in seconds since the UNIX epoch (January 1, 1970 UTC), plus a 4-byte integer microseconds offset, plus a pointer to an AbstractQoreZoneInfo object, which gives the time zone information (UTC offset, daylights savings time transitions, if any, etc).

Therefore, for absolute date/time values, it is expensive to call functions that get discrete values for the date (DateTime::getYear(), DateTime::getMonth(), and DateTime::getDay()), because for each call, all broken-down components are calculated for each call. In the case that more than one component of an absolute date/time value is required, it's recommended to call DateTime::getInfo() instead.

Relative date/time values are stored with discrete values for years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds, and microseconds.

This is a "normal" (i.e. not reference counted) class, for the equivalent Qore value type, see DateTimeNode
