The TQDateTime class provides date and time functions.
< p >
< p > A TQDateTime object contains a calendar date and a clock time (a
"datetime"). It is a combination of the < a href = "tqdate.html" > TQDate< / a > and < a href = "tqtime.html" > TQTime< / a > classes.
It can read the current datetime from the system clock. It
provides functions for comparing datetimes and for manipulating a
datetime by adding a number of seconds, days, months or years.
< p > A TQDateTime object is typically created either by giving a date
and time explicitly in the constructor, or by using the static
function < a href = "#currentDateTime" > currentDateTime< / a > (), which returns a TQDateTime object set
to the system clock's time. The date and time can be changed with
< a href = "#setDate" > setDate< / a > () and < a href = "#setTime" > setTime< / a > (). A datetime can also be set using the
< a href = "#setTime_t" > setTime_t< / a > () function, which takes a POSIX-standard "number of
seconds since 00:00:00 on January 1, 1970" value. The < a href = "#fromString" > fromString< / a > ()
function returns a TQDateTime given a string and a date format
which is used to interpret the date within the string.
< p > The < a href = "#date" > date< / a > () and < a href = "#time" > time< / a > () functions provide access to the date and
time parts of the datetime. The same information is provided in
textual format by the < a href = "#toString" > toString< / a > () function.
< p > TQDateTime provides a full set of operators to compare two
TQDateTime objects where smaller means earlier and larger means
later.
< p > You can increment (or decrement) a datetime by a given number of
seconds using < a href = "#addSecs" > addSecs< / a > () or days using < a href = "#addDays" > addDays< / a > (). Similarly you can
use < a href = "#addMonths" > addMonths< / a > () and < a href = "#addYears" > addYears< / a > (). The < a href = "#daysTo" > daysTo< / a > () function returns the
number of days between two datetimes, and < a href = "#secsTo" > secsTo< / a > () returns the
number of seconds between two datetimes.
< p > The range of a datetime object is constrained to the ranges of the
< a href = "tqdate.html" > TQDate< / a > and < a href = "tqtime.html" > TQTime< / a > objects which it embodies.
< p > < p > See also < a href = "tqdate.html" > TQDate< / a > , < a href = "tqtime.html" > TQTime< / a > , < a href = "tqdatetimeedit.html" > TQDateTimeEdit< / a > , and < a href = "time.html" > Time and Date< / a > .

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
< p > Returns the datetime as a string. The < em > f< / em > parameter determines
the format of the string.
< p > If < em > f< / em > is < a href = "ntqt.html#DateFormat-enum" > TQt::TextDate< / a > , the string format is "Wed May 20
03:40:13 1998" (using < a href = "tqdate.html#shortDayName" > TQDate::shortDayName< / a > (), < a href = "tqdate.html#shortMonthName" > TQDate::shortMonthName< / a > (),
and < a href = "tqtime.html#toString" > TQTime::toString< / a > () to generate the string, so the day and month
names will have localized names).
< p > If < em > f< / em > is < a href = "ntqt.html#DateFormat-enum" > TQt::ISODate< / a > , the string format corresponds to the
ISO 8601 extended specification for representations of dates and
times, which is YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.
< p > If < em > f< / em > is < a href = "ntqt.html#DateFormat-enum" > TQt::LocalDate< / a > , the string format depends on the
locale settings of the system.
< p > If the format < em > f< / em > is invalid or the datetime is invalid, < a href = "#toString" > toString< / a > ()
returns a null string.
< p > < p > See also < a href = "tqdate.html#toString" > TQDate::toString< / a > () and < a href = "tqtime.html#toString" > TQTime::toString< / a > ().
< h3 class = fn > uint < a name = "toTime_t" > < / a > TQDateTime::toTime_t () const
< / h3 >
Returns the datetime as the number of seconds that have passed
since 1970-01-01T00:00:00, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
< p > On systems that do not support timezones, this function will
behave as if local time were UTC.
