Namespace: KDateTime
Detailed Description
The full time specification of a KDateTime instance. This specifies how the date/time component of the KDateTime instance should be interpreted, i.e. which time zone (if any) the date/time is expressed in.

Method Documentation
| __init__ | ( | self ) |
Constructs an invalid time specification.
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| KTimeZone | tz | |||
| ) |
Constructs a time specification for a given time zone. If tz is KTimeZone.utc(), the time specification type is set to UTC.
- Parameters:
-
tz time zone
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| KDateTime.SpecType | type, | |||
| int | utcOffset=0 | |||
| ) |
Constructs a time specification.
- Parameters:
-
type time specification type, which should not be TimeZone utcOffset number of seconds to add to UTC to get the local time. Ignored if type is not OffsetFromUTC.
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| KDateTime.Spec | spec | |||
| ) |
Copy constructor.
| bool equivalentTo | ( | self, | ||
| KDateTime.Spec | other | |||
| ) |
Checks whether this instance is equivalent to another. The two instances are considered to be equivalent if any of the following conditions apply: - both instances are type ClockTime. - both instances are type OffsetFromUTC and their offsets from UTC are equal. - both instances are type TimeZone and their time zones are equal. - both instances are UTC. An instance is considered to be UTC if it is either type UTC, or is type OffsetFromUTC with a zero UTC offset.
- Returns:
- true if the two instances are equivalent, false otherwise
- See also:
- operator==()
| bool isClockTime | ( | self ) |
Returns whether the time specification is a local clock time.
- Returns:
- true if local clock time
- See also:
- isUtc(), timeZone()
| bool isLocalZone | ( | self ) |
Returns whether the time specification is the current local system time zone.
- Returns:
- true if local system time zone
- See also:
- isUtc(), isOffsetFromUtc(), timeZone()
| bool isOffsetFromUtc | ( | self ) |
Returns whether the time specification is a local time at a fixed offset from UTC.
- Returns:
- true if local time at fixed offset from UTC
- See also:
- isLocal(), isUtc(), utcOffset()
| bool isUtc | ( | self ) |
Returns whether the time specification is a UTC time. It is considered to be a UTC time if it is either type UTC, or is type OffsetFromUTC with a zero UTC offset.
- Returns:
- true if UTC
- See also:
- isLocal(), isOffsetFromUtc(), timeZone()
| bool isValid | ( | self ) |
Returns whether the time specification is valid.
- Returns:
- true if valid, else false
| bool operator != | ( | self, | ||
| KDateTime.Spec | other | |||
| ) |
| bool operator == | ( | self, | ||
| KDateTime.Spec | other | |||
| ) |
Comparison operator.
- Returns:
- true if the two instances are identical, false otherwise
- See also:
- equivalentTo()
| setType | ( | self, | ||
| KDateTime.SpecType | type, | |||
| int | utcOffset=0 | |||
| ) |
Sets the time zone for the time specification.
To set the time zone to the current local system time zone, setType(LocalZone) may optionally be used instead.
- Parameters:
-
tz new time zone
- See also:
- timeZone(), setType(SpecType)
| setType | ( | self, | ||
| KTimeZone | tz | |||
| ) |
Sets the time zone for the time specification.
To set the time zone to the current local system time zone, setType(LocalZone) may optionally be used instead.
- Parameters:
-
tz new time zone
- See also:
- timeZone(), setType(SpecType)
| KTimeZone timeZone | ( | self ) |
Returns the time zone for the date/time, according to the time specification type as follows: - TimeZone : the specified time zone is returned. - UTC : a UTC time zone is returned. - LocalZone : the current local time zone is returned.
- Returns:
- time zone as defined above, or invalid in all other cases
- See also:
- isUtc(), isLocal()
| KDateTime.SpecType type | ( | self ) |
Returns the time specification type, i.e. whether it is UTC, has a time zone, etc. If the type is the local time zone, TimeZone is returned; use isLocalZone() to check for the local time zone.
- Returns:
- specification type
- See also:
- isLocalZone(), isClockTime(), isUtc(), timeZone()
| int utcOffset | ( | self ) |
Returns the UTC offset associated with the time specification. The UTC offset is the number of seconds to add to UTC to get the local time.
- Returns:
- UTC offset in seconds if type is OffsetFromUTC, else 0
- See also:
- isOffsetFromUtc()
