## Detailed Description

`TimeZoneRule` is a class representing a rule for time zone.

`TimeZoneRule` has a set of time zone attributes, such as zone name, raw offset (UTC offset for standard time) and daylight saving time offset.

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

## TimeZoneRule() [2/2]

icu::TimeZoneRule::TimeZoneRule | ( | const TimeZoneRule & | source | ) |

protected

Copy constructor.

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

## Member Function Documentation

## clone()

virtual TimeZoneRule* icu::TimeZoneRule::clone | ( |  | ) | const

pure virtual

Clone this TimeZoneRule object polymorphically.

The caller owns the result and should delete it when done.

Returns
  A copy of the object.

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

Implemented in icu::TimeArrayTimeZoneRule, icu::AnnualTimeZoneRule, and icu::InitialTimeZoneRule.

## getDSTSavings()

int32_t icu::TimeZoneRule::getDSTSavings | ( | void |  | ) | const

Gets the amount of daylight saving delta time from the standard time.

Returns
  The amount of daylight saving offset used by this rule in milliseconds.

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

## getFinalStart()

virtual UBool icu::TimeZoneRule::getFinalStart | ( | int32_t | prevRawOffset,
|  | int32_t | prevDSTSavings,
|  | UDate & | result
| ) |  | const

pure virtual

Gets the final time when this rule takes effect.

Parameters

  prevRawOffset | The standard time offset from UTC before this rule takes effect in milliseconds.
  prevDSTSavings | The amount of daylight saving offset from the standard time.
  result | Receives the final time when this rule takes effect.

Returns
  true if the start time is available. When false is returned, output parameter "result" is unchanged.

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

Implemented in icu::TimeArrayTimeZoneRule, icu::AnnualTimeZoneRule, and icu::InitialTimeZoneRule.

## getFirstStart()

virtual UBool icu::TimeZoneRule::getFirstStart | ( | int32_t | prevRawOffset,
|  | int32_t | prevDSTSavings,
|  | UDate & | result
| ) |  | const

pure virtual

Gets the very first time when this rule takes effect.

Parameters

  prevRawOffset | The standard time offset from UTC before this rule takes effect in milliseconds.
  prevDSTSavings | The amount of daylight saving offset from the standard time.
  result | Receives the very first time when this rule takes effect.

Returns
  true if the start time is available. When false is returned, output parameter "result" is unchanged.

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

Implemented in icu::TimeArrayTimeZoneRule, icu::AnnualTimeZoneRule, and icu::InitialTimeZoneRule.

## getName()

UnicodeString& icu::TimeZoneRule::getName | ( | UnicodeString & | name | ) | const

Fills in "name" with the name of this time zone.

Parameters

  name | Receives the name of this time zone.

Returns
  A reference to "name"

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

## getNextStart()

virtual UBool icu::TimeZoneRule::getNextStart | ( | UDate | base,
|  | int32_t | prevRawOffset,
|  | int32_t | prevDSTSavings,
|  | UBool | inclusive,
|  | UDate & | result
| ) |  | const

pure virtual

Gets the first time when this rule takes effect after the specified time.

Parameters

  base | The first start time after this base time will be returned.
  prevRawOffset | The standard time offset from UTC before this rule takes effect in milliseconds.
  prevDSTSavings | The amount of daylight saving offset from the standard time.
  inclusive | Whether the base time is inclusive or not.
  result | Receives The first time when this rule takes effect after the specified base time.

Returns
  true if the start time is available. When false is returned, output parameter "result" is unchanged.

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

Implemented in icu::TimeArrayTimeZoneRule, icu::AnnualTimeZoneRule, and icu::InitialTimeZoneRule.

## getPreviousStart()

virtual UBool icu::TimeZoneRule::getPreviousStart | ( | UDate | base,
|  | int32_t | prevRawOffset,
|  | int32_t | prevDSTSavings,
|  | UBool | inclusive,
|  | UDate & | result
| ) |  | const

pure virtual

Gets the most recent time when this rule takes effect before the specified time.

Parameters

  base | The most recent time before this base time will be returned.
  prevRawOffset | The standard time offset from UTC before this rule takes effect in milliseconds.
  prevDSTSavings | The amount of daylight saving offset from the standard time.
  inclusive | Whether the base time is inclusive or not.
  result | Receives The most recent time when this rule takes effect before the specified base time.

Returns
  true if the start time is available. When false is returned, output parameter "result" is unchanged.

Return true if the given `TimeZoneRule` objects are semantically unequal.

Objects of different subclasses are considered unequal.

Parameters

  that | The object to be compared with.

Returns
  true if the given `TimeZoneRule` objects are semantically unequal.

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

Reimplemented in icu::TimeArrayTimeZoneRule, icu::AnnualTimeZoneRule, and icu::InitialTimeZoneRule.

## operator=()

TimeZoneRule& icu::TimeZoneRule::operator= | ( | const TimeZoneRule & | right | ) |

protected

Assignment operator.

Parameters

  right | The object to be copied.

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

## operator==()

virtual bool icu::TimeZoneRule::operator== | ( | const TimeZoneRule & | that | ) | const

virtual

Return true if the given `TimeZoneRule` objects are semantically equal.

Objects of different subclasses are considered unequal.

Parameters

  that | The object to be compared with.

Returns
  true if the given `TimeZoneRule` objects are semantically equal.

Stable:
  ICU 3.8

Reimplemented in icu::TimeArrayTimeZoneRule, icu::AnnualTimeZoneRule, and icu::InitialTimeZoneRule.
