## Detailed Description

`VTimeZone` is a class implementing RFC2445 VTIMEZONE.

You can create a `VTimeZone` instance from a time zone ID supported by `TimeZone`. With the `VTimeZone` instance created from the ID, you can write out the rule in RFC2445 VTIMEZONE format. Also, you can create a `VTimeZone` instance from RFC2445 VTIMEZONE data stream, which allows you to calculate time zone offset by the rules defined by the data. Or, you can create a `VTimeZone` from any other ICU `BasicTimeZone`.
Note: The consumer of this class reading or writing VTIMEZONE data is responsible to decode or encode Non-ASCII text. Methods reading/writing VTIMEZONE data in this class do nothing with MIME encoding.

## getOffset() [1/3]

virtual void icu::VTimeZone::getOffset | ( | UDate | date,
|  | UBool | local,
|  | int32_t & | rawOffset,
|  | int32_t & | dstOffset,
|  | UErrorCode & | ec
| ) |  | const

overridevirtual

Returns the time zone raw and GMT offset for the given moment in time.

Upon return, local-millis = GMT-millis + rawOffset + dstOffset. All computations are performed in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. The default implementation in the TimeZone class delegates to the 8-argument getOffset().

Parameters

  date | moment in time for which to return offsets, in units of milliseconds from January 1, 1970 0:00 GMT, either GMT time or local wall time, depending on ‘local’.
  local | if true, ‘date’ is local wall time; otherwise it is in GMT time.
  rawOffset | output parameter to receive the raw offset, that is, the offset not including DST adjustments
  dstOffset | output parameter to receive the DST offset, that is, the offset to be added to ‘rawOffset’ to obtain the total offset between local and GMT time. If DST is not in effect, this value is zero; otherwise it is a positive value, typically one hour.
  ec | input-output error code

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

Reimplemented from icu::TimeZone.

## getOffset() [2/3]

virtual int32_t icu::VTimeZone::getOffset | ( | uint8_t | era,
|  | int32_t | year,
|  | int32_t | month,
|  | int32_t | day,
|  | uint8_t | dayOfWeek,
|  | int32_t | millis,
|  | int32_t | monthLength,
|  | UErrorCode & | status
| ) |  | const

overridevirtual

Gets the time zone offset, for current date, modified in case of daylight savings.

This is the offset to add to UTC to get local time.

Note: Don't call this method. Instead, call the getOffset(UDate...) overload, which returns both the raw and the DST offset for a given time. This method is retained only for backward compatibility.

Parameters

  era | The reference date's era
  year | The reference date's year
  month | The reference date's month (0-based; 0 is January)
  day | The reference date's day-in-month (1-based)
  dayOfWeek | The reference date's day-of-week (1-based; 1 is Sunday)
  millis | The reference date's milliseconds in day, local standard time
  monthLength | The length of the given month in days.
  status | Output param to filled in with a success or an error.

Returns
  The offset in milliseconds to add to GMT to get local time.

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

Implements icu::TimeZone.

## getOffset() [3/3]

virtual int32_t icu::VTimeZone::getOffset | ( | uint8_t | era,
|  | int32_t | year,
|  | int32_t | month,
|  | int32_t | day,
|  | uint8_t | dayOfWeek,
|  | int32_t | millis,
|  | UErrorCode & | status
| ) |  | const

overridevirtual

Returns the TimeZone's adjusted GMT offset (i.e., the number of milliseconds to add to GMT to get local time in this time zone, taking daylight savings time into account) as of a particular reference date.

The reference date is used to determine whether daylight savings time is in effect and needs to be figured into the offset that is returned (in other words, what is the adjusted GMT offset in this time zone at this particular date and time?). For the time zones produced by createTimeZone(), the reference data is specified according to the Gregorian calendar, and the date and time fields are local standard time.

Note: Don't call this method. Instead, call the getOffset(UDate...) overload, which returns both the raw and the DST offset for a given time. This method is retained only for backward compatibility.

Parameters

  era | The reference date's era
  year | The reference date's year
  month | The reference date's month (0-based; 0 is January)
  day | The reference date's day-in-month (1-based)
  dayOfWeek | The reference date's day-of-week (1-based; 1 is Sunday)
  millis | The reference date's milliseconds in day, local standard time
  status | Output param to filled in with a success or an error.

Returns
  The offset in milliseconds to add to GMT to get local time.

This is useful only for comparing to a return value from getDynamicClassID(). For example:

    .   Base* polymorphic_pointer = createPolymorphicObject();
    .   if (polymorphic_pointer->getDynamicClassID() ==
    .       erived::getStaticClassID()) ...

## getTimeZoneRules()

virtual void icu::VTimeZone::getTimeZoneRules | ( | const InitialTimeZoneRule *& | initial,
|  | const TimeZoneRule * | trsrules[],
|  | int32_t & | trscount,
|  | UErrorCode & | status
| ) |  | const

overridevirtual

Gets the `InitialTimeZoneRule` and the set of `TimeZoneRule` which represent time transitions for this time zone.

On successful return, the argument initial points to non-nullptr `InitialTimeZoneRule` and the array trsrules is filled with 0 or multiple `TimeZoneRule` instances up to the size specified by trscount. The results are referencing the rule instance held by this time zone instance. Therefore, after this time zone is destructed, they are no longer available.

Parameters

  initial | Receives the initial timezone rule
  trsrules | Receives the timezone transition rules
  trscount | On input, specify the size of the array 'transitions' receiving the timezone transition rules. On output, actual number of rules filled in the array will be set.

## getTZURL()

UBool icu::VTimeZone::getTZURL | ( | UnicodeString & | url | ) | const

Parameters

  url | Receives the RFC2445 TZURL property value.

Returns
  true if TZURL attribute is available and value is set.

Stable:

## writeSimple()

void icu::VTimeZone::writeSimple | ( | UDate | time,
|  | UnicodeString & | result,
|  | UErrorCode & | status
| ) |  | const

Writes RFC2445 VTIMEZONE data applicable for the specified date.

Some common iCalendar implementations can only handle a single time zone property or a pair of standard and daylight time properties using BYDAY rule with day of week (such as BYDAY=1SUN). This method produce the VTIMEZONE data which can be handled these implementations. The rules produced by this method can be used only for calculating time zone offset around the specified date.

Parameters

  time | The date used for rule extraction.
  result | Output param to filled in with the VTIMEZONE data.
  status | Output param to filled in with a success or an error.

  ICU 3.8
