+
+
+
+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>.

+</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.
