Detailed Description

Utility for handling time. Internally, uses tm (C time structure).

Note: This class does nout (yet) support format strings of arbitrary size. (output str length has limited size).

Member Function Documentation

getTm()

const tm & getTm ( ) const

inline

Sets time to UTC time.

Returns the C struct.

setTime() [1/2]

void setTime	(	const std::string &	time,
		const std::string &	format,
		bool	STRICT = true
	)

Sets time.

time - time given as a std::string .

format - format of time parameter, for example "%Y/%m/%d %H:%M".

strictness - if \true, a runtime error is thrown when parsing fails.

Note: handling of Time Zone is odd:

• Giving unix seconds (input format="%s") changes time zone to local time (EET in Finland)
• Giving time zone explicitly (input format="%Z"), eg. "2018/11/16 22:58 EET" has no effect; the time is understood as GMT time

The time can be adjusted using several subsequent calls.

setTime() [2/2]

void setTime ( time_t  time )

inline

Sets time to UTC time.

time - unix seconds (integer)
