Timezone

The Timezone module represents a time zone offset, and also figures out daylight savings.

Required Header

#include <utils_i18n.h>

Overview

The Timezone module represents a time zone offset, and also figures out daylight savings.
Typically, you get an i18n_timezone_h using i18n_timezone_create_default which creates a TimeZone based on the time zone where the program is running. For example, for a program running in Japan, i18n_timezone_create_default creates an i18n_timezone_h based on Japanese Standard Time.
You can also get an i18n_timezone_h using i18n_timezone_create along with a time zone ID. For instance, the time zone ID for the US Pacific Time zone is "America/Los_Angeles". So, you can get a Pacific Time i18n_timezone_h with:
i18n_timezone_h timezone;
i18n_timezone_create(&timezone, "America/Los_Angeles");
To create a new i18n_timezone_h, you call the factory function i18n_timezone_create() and pass it a time zone ID. You can use the int i18n_timezone_foreach_timezone_id() function to obtain a list of all the time zone IDs recognized by i18n_timezone_create().
You can also use i18n_timezone_create_default() to create an i18n_timezone_h. This function uses platform-specific APIs to produce an i18n_timezone_h for the time zone corresponding to the client's computer's physical location. For example, if you're in Japan (assuming your machine is set up correctly), i18n_timezone_create_default() will return an i18n_timezone_h for Japanese Standard Time ("Asia/Tokyo").

int i18n_timezone_count_equivalent_ids ( const char *  timezone_id,
int32_t *  count 
)

Returns the number of IDs in the equivalency group that includes the given ID.

An equivalency group contains zones that have the same GMT offset and rules.
The returned count includes the given ID; it is always >= 1. The given ID must be a system time zone. If it is not, returns zero.

Since :
2.3
Parameters:

int i18n_timezone_create ( i18n_timezone_h timezone,
const char *  timezone_id 
)

Creates an i18n_timezone_h for the given timezone_id.

Since :
2.3
Parameters:
[out]timezonethe GMT/UTC time zone.
[in]timezone_idthe ID for an i18n_timezone_h, such as "America/Los_Angeles", or a custom ID such as "GMT-8:00".
Return values:
I18N_ERROR_NONESuccessful

Creates a new copy of the default i18n_timezone_h for this host.

Unless the default time zone has already been set using i18n_timezone_set_default(), the default is determined by querying the system using methods in TPlatformUtilities. If the system routines fail, or if they specify an i18n_timezone_h or i18n_timezone_h offset which is not recognized, the i18n_timezone_h indicated by the ID kLastResortID is instantiated and made the default.

This function determines the default timezone by querying the system once and storing the obtained timezone as default until the application terminates.

To query the system for the current timezone, use i18n_timezone_detect_host_timezone().

Since :
2.3
Parameters:
[out]timezoneA default i18n_timezone_h. Clients are responsible for deleting the time zone object returned.
Return values:
I18N_ERROR_NONESuccessful

The GMT (=UTC) time zone has a raw offset of zero and does not use daylight savings time.

This is a commonly used time zone.
Note: For backward compatibility reason, the ID used by the time zone returned by this method is "GMT", although the I18N's canonical ID for the GMT time zone is "Etc/GMT".

Since :
2.3
Parameters:
[out]timezonethe GMT/UTC time zone.
Return values:
I18N_ERROR_NONESuccessful
See also:
i18n_timezone_create_unknown()

There may be several times zones with the same GMT offset that differ in the way they handle daylight savings time. For example, the state of Arizona doesn't observe daylight savings time. If you ask for the time zone IDs corresponding to GMT-7:00, you'll get back an enumeration over two time zone IDs: "America/Denver," which corresponds to Mountain Standard Time in the winter and Mountain Daylight Time in the summer, and "America/Phoenix", which corresponds to Mountain Standard Time year-round, even in the summer.

Returns:
the version string, such as "2007f"
Exceptions:
I18N_ERROR_NONESuccessful
int i18n_timezone_has_same_rule ( i18n_timezone_h  timezone,
i18n_timezone_h  other,
i18n_ubool same_rule 
)

Returns true if this zone has the same rule and offset as another zone.

That is, if this zone differs only in ID, if at all.

Since :
2.3
Parameters:
[in]timezoneThe i18n_timezone_h to know whether has the same rule or not.
[in]otherThe i18n_timezone_h to be compared with.
[out]same_ruleTrue if the given zone is the same as this one, with the possible exception of the ID.
Return values:
I18N_ERROR_NONESuccessful

Sets the default time zone (i.e., what's returned by i18n_timezone_create_default()) to be the specified time zone.

If NULL is specified for the time zone, the default time zone is set to the default host time zone. The caller remains responsible for deleting it.
This function is not thread safe. It is an error for multiple threads to concurrently attempt to set the default time zone, or for any thread to attempt to reference the default zone while another thread is setting it.

Since :
2.3
Remarks:
Do not use unless you know what you are doing.
Parameters:
[in]timezoneThe given timezone.
Return values:
I18N_ERROR_NONESuccessful
int i18n_timezone_set_id ( i18n_timezone_h  timezone,
const char *  timezone_id 
)

Sets the i18n_timezone_h's ID to the specified value.

This doesn't affect any other fields. for example,

i18n_timezone_h timezone = NULL;
i18n_timezone_create ( &timezone, "America/New_York" );
i18n_timezone_set_id ( "America/Los_Angeles" );

the timezone's GMT offset and daylight-savings rules don't change to those for Los Angeles. They're still those for New York. Only the ID has changed.

Since :
2.3
Parameters:
[in]timezoneThe i18n_timezone_h to set a timezone ID.
[in]timezone_idThe new time zone ID.
Return values:
I18N_ERROR_NONESuccessful
int i18n_timezone_set_raw_offset ( i18n_timezone_h  timezone,
int32_t  offset_milliseconds 
)

Sets the i18n_timezone_h's raw GMT offset (i.e., the number of milliseconds to add to GMT to get local time, before taking daylight savings time into account).

Since :
2.3
Parameters:
[in]timezoneThe i18n_timezone_h to set a raw offset.
[in]offset_millisecondsThe new raw GMT offset for this time zone.
Return values:
I18N_ERROR_NONESuccessful
int i18n_timezone_use_daylight_time ( i18n_timezone_h  timezone,
i18n_ubool daylight_time 
)

Queries if this time zone uses daylight savings time.

Since :
2.3
Parameters:
[in]timezoneThe i18n_timezone_h to know whether uses daylight savings time or not.
[out]daylight_timeTrue if this time zone uses daylight savings time, False, otherwise.
Return values:
I18N_ERROR_NONESuccessful
