     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>
