<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>
<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="qdatetime.html#currentDateTime">currentDateTime</a>() that returns a QDateTime object set to the system clock's time. The date and time can be changed with <a href="qdatetime.html#setDate">setDate</a>() and <a href="qdatetime.html#setTime">setTime</a>(). A datetime can also be set using the <a href="qdatetime.html#setTime_t">setTime_t</a>() function that takes a POSIX-standard "number of seconds since 00:00:00 on January 1, 1970" value. The <a href="qdatetime.html#fromString">fromString</a>() function returns a QDateTime, given a string and a date format used to interpret the date within the string.</p>
<p>The <a href="qdatetime.html#date">date</a>() and <a href="qdatetime.html#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="qdatetime.html#toString">toString</a>() function.</p>
<p>QDateTime provides a full set of operators to compare two QDateTime objects where smaller means earlier and larger means later.</p>
<p>You can increment (or decrement) a datetime by a given number of seconds using <a href="qdatetime.html#addSecs">addSecs</a>(), or days using <a href="qdatetime.html#addDays">addDays</a>(). Similarly you can use <a href="qdatetime.html#addMonths">addMonths</a>() and <a href="qdatetime.html#addYears">addYears</a>(). The <a href="qdatetime.html#daysTo">daysTo</a>() function returns the number of days between two datetimes, and <a href="qdatetime.html#secsTo">secsTo</a>() returns the number of seconds between two datetimes.</p>
<p>QDateTime can store datetimes as <a href="qt.html#TimeSpec-enum">local time</a> or as <a href="qt.html#TimeSpec-enum">UTC</a>. <a href="qdatetime.html#currentDateTime">QDateTime.currentDateTime</a>() returns a QDateTime expressed as local time; use <a href="qdatetime.html#toUTC">toUTC</a>() to convert it to UTC. You can also use <a href="qdatetime.html#timeSpec">timeSpec</a>() to find out if a QDateTime object stores a UTC time or a local time. Operations such as <a href="qdatetime.html#addSecs">addSecs</a>() and <a href="qdatetime.html#secsTo">secsTo</a>() are aware of daylight saving time (DST).</p>

<p>If the format is not satisfied an invalid <a href="qdatetime.html">QDateTime</a> is returned. The expressions that don't have leading zeroes (d, M, h, m, s, z) will be greedy. This means that they will use two digits even if this will put them outside the range and/or leave too few digits for other sections.</p>
<pre>
QDateTime dateTime = QDateTime.fromString("130", "Mm"); // invalid
</pre>
<p>This could have meant 1 January 00:30.00 but the M will grab two digits.</p>
