 * SECTION:date-time
 * @title: GDateTime
 * @short_description: a structure representing Date and Time
 * @see_also: #GTimeZone
 *
 * #GDateTime is a structure that combines a Gregorian date and time
 * into a single structure.  It provides many conversion and methods to
 * manipulate dates and times.  Time precision is provided down to
 * microseconds and the time can range (proleptically) from 0001-01-01
 * 00:00:00 to 9999-12-31 23:59:59.999999.  #GDateTime follows POSIX
 * time in the sense that it is oblivious to leap seconds.
 *
 * #GDateTime is an immutable object; once it has been created it cannot
 * be modified further.  All modifiers will create a new #GDateTime.
 * Nearly all such functions can fail due to the date or time going out
 * of range, in which case %NULL will be returned.
 *
 * #GDateTime is reference counted: the reference count is increased by calling
 * g_date_time_ref() and decreased by calling g_date_time_unref(). When the
 * reference count drops to 0, the resources allocated by the #GDateTime
 * structure are released.
 *
 * Many parts of the API may produce non-obvious results.  As an
 * example, adding two months to January 31st will yield March 31st
 * whereas adding one month and then one month again will yield either
 * March 28th or March 29th.  Also note that adding 24 hours is not
 * always the same as adding one day (since days containing daylight
 * savings time transitions are either 23 or 25 hours in length).
 *
 * #GDateTime is available since GLib 2.26.

/**
 * g_date_time_format:
 * @datetime: A #GDateTime
 * @format: a valid UTF-8 string, containing the format for the
 *          #GDateTime
 *
 * Creates a newly allocated string representing the requested @format.
 *
 * The format strings understood by this function are a subset of the
 * strftime() format language as specified by C99.  The \%D, \%U and \%W
 * conversions are not supported, nor is the 'E' modifier.  The GNU
 * extensions \%k, \%l, \%s and \%P are supported, however, as are the
 * '0', '_' and '-' modifiers.
 *
 * In contrast to strftime(), this function always produces a UTF-8
 * string, regardless of the current locale.  Note that the rendering of
 * many formats is locale-dependent and may not match the strftime()
 * output exactly.
 *
 * The following format specifiers are supported:
 *
 * - \%a: the abbreviated weekday name according to the current locale
 * - \%A: the full weekday name according to the current locale
 * - \%b: the abbreviated month name according to the current locale
 * - \%B: the full month name according to the current locale
 * - \%c: the  preferred date and time rpresentation for the current locale
 * - \%C: the century number (year/100) as a 2-digit integer (00-99)
 * - \%d: the day of the month as a decimal number (range 01 to 31)
 * - \%e: the day of the month as a decimal number (range  1 to 31)
 * - \%F: equivalent to `\%Y-\%m-\%d` (the ISO 8601 date format)
 * - \%g: the last two digits of the ISO 8601 week-based year as a
 *   decimal number (00-99). This works well with \%V and \%u.
 * - \%G: the ISO 8601 week-based year as a decimal number. This works
 *   well with \%V and \%u.
 * - \%h: equivalent to \%b
 * - \%H: the hour as a decimal number using a 24-hour clock (range 00 to 23)
 * - \%I: the hour as a decimal number using a 12-hour clock (range 01 to 12)
 * - \%j: the day of the year as a decimal number (range 001 to 366)
 * - \%k: the hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number (range 0 to 23);
 *   single digits are preceded by a blank
 * - \%l: the hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number (range 1 to 12);
 *   single digits are preceded by a blank
 * - \%m: the month as a decimal number (range 01 to 12)
 * - \%M: the minute as a decimal number (range 00 to 59)
 * - \%p: either "AM" or "PM" according to the given time value, or the
 *   corresponding  strings for the current locale.  Noon is treated as
 *   "PM" and midnight as "AM".
 * - \%P: like \%p but lowercase: "am" or "pm" or a corresponding string for
 *   the current locale
 * - \%r: the time in a.m. or p.m. notation
 * - \%R: the time in 24-hour notation (\%H:\%M)
 * - \%s: the number of seconds since the Epoch, that is, since 1970-01-01
 *   00:00:00 UTC
 * - \%S: the second as a decimal number (range 00 to 60)
 * - \%t: a tab character
 * - \%T: the time in 24-hour notation with seconds (\%H:\%M:\%S)
 * - \%u: the ISO 8601 standard day of the week as a decimal, range 1 to 7,
 *    Monday being 1. This works well with \%G and \%V.
 * - \%V: the ISO 8601 standard week number of the current year as a decimal
 *   number, range 01 to 53, where week 1 is the first week that has at
 *   least 4 days in the new year. See g_date_time_get_week_of_year().
 *   This works well with \%G and \%u.
 * - \%w: the day of the week as a decimal, range 0 to 6, Sunday being 0.
 *   This is not the ISO 8601 standard format -- use \%u instead.
 * - \%x: the preferred date representation for the current locale without
 *   the time
 * - \%X: the preferred time representation for the current locale without
 *   the date
 * - \%y: the year as a decimal number without the century
 * - \%Y: the year as a decimal number including the century
 * - \%z: the time zone as an offset from UTC (+hhmm)
 * - \%:z: the time zone as an offset from UTC (+hh:mm).
 *   This is a gnulib strftime() extension. Since: 2.38
 * - \%::z: the time zone as an offset from UTC (+hh:mm:ss). This is a
 *   gnulib strftime() extension. Since: 2.38
 * - \%:::z: the time zone as an offset from UTC, with : to necessary
 *   precision (e.g., -04, +05:30). This is a gnulib strftime() extension. Since: 2.38
 * - \%Z: the time zone or name or abbreviation
 * - \%\%: a literal \% character
 *
 * Some conversion specifications can be modified by preceding the
 * conversion specifier by one or more modifier characters. The
 * following modifiers are supported for many of the numeric
 * conversions:
 * 
 * - O: Use alternative numeric symbols, if the current locale supports those.
 * - _: Pad a numeric result with spaces. This overrides the default padding
 *   for the specifier.
 * - -: Do not pad a numeric result. This overrides the default padding
 *   for the specifier.
 * - 0: Pad a numeric result with zeros. This overrides the default padding
 *   for the specifier.
 *
 * Returns: a newly allocated string formatted to the requested format
 *     or %NULL in the case that there was an error. The string
 *     should be freed with g_free().
 *
 * Since: 2.26
