<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The QDateTime class provides date and time functions.
<p>
<p> A QDateTime object contains a calendar date and a clock time (a
"datetime"). It is a combination of the <a href="qdate.html">QDate</a> and <a href="qtime.html">QTime</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 QDateTime 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 QDateTime 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 QDateTime 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> QDateTime provides a full set of operators to compare two
QDateTime 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="qdate.html">QDate</a> and <a href="qtime.html">QTime</a> objects which it embodies.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qdate.html">QDate</a>, <a href="qtime.html">QTime</a>, <a href="qdatetimeedit.html">QDateTimeEdit</a>, and <a href="time.html">Time and Date</a>.

that do not support timezones this function will behave as if
local time were UTC.
<p> On Windows, only a subset of <em>secsSince1Jan1970UTC</em> values are
supported, as Windows starts counting from 1980.

<p> If the datetime is an invalid datetime, then <a href="qstring.html#QString-null">QString::null</a> will be returned.

<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="toString-2"></a>QDateTime::toString ( <a href="qt.html#DateFormat-enum">Qt::DateFormat</a> f = Qt::TextDate ) const
</h3>
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="qt.html#DateFormat-enum">Qt::TextDate</a>, the string format is "Wed May 20
03:40:13 1998" (using <a href="qdate.html#shortDayName">QDate::shortDayName</a>(), <a href="qdate.html#shortMonthName">QDate::shortMonthName</a>(),
and <a href="qtime.html#toString">QTime::toString</a>() to generate the string, so the day and month
names will have localized names).
<p> If <em>f</em> is <a href="qt.html#DateFormat-enum">Qt::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="qt.html#DateFormat-enum">Qt::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="qdate.html#toString">QDate::toString</a>() and <a href="qtime.html#toString">QTime::toString</a>().
<h3 class=fn>uint <a name="toTime_t"></a>QDateTime::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.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setTime_t">setTime_t</a>().
