/**	@file icaltime.h
 *	@brief struct icaltimetype is a pseudo-object that abstracts time
 *	handling.
 *
 *	It can represent either a DATE or a DATE-TIME (floating, UTC or in a
 *	given timezone), and it keeps track internally of its native timezone.
 *
 *	The typical usage is to call the correct constructor specifying the
 *	desired timezone. If this is not known until a later time, the
 *	correct behavior is to specify a NULL timezone and call
 *	icaltime_convert_to_zone() at a later time.
 *
 *	There are several ways to create a new icaltimetype:
 *
 *	- icaltime_null_time()
 *	- icaltime_null_date()
 *	- icaltime_current_time_with_zone()
 *	- icaltime_today()
 *	- icaltime_from_timet_with_zone(time_t tm, int is_date,
 *		icaltimezone *zone)
 * 	- icaltime_from_string_with_zone(const char* str, icaltimezone *zone)
 *	- icaltime_from_day_of_year(int doy,  int year)
 *	- icaltime_from_week_number(int week_number, int year)
 *
 *	italtimetype objects can be converted to different formats:
 *
 *	- icaltime_as_timet(struct icaltimetype tt)
 *	- icaltime_as_timet_with_zone(struct icaltimetype tt,
 *		icaltimezone *zone)
 *	- icaltime_as_ical_string(struct icaltimetype tt)
 *
 *	Accessor methods include:
 *
 *	- icaltime_get_timezone(struct icaltimetype t)
 *	- icaltime_get_tzid(struct icaltimetype t)
 *	- icaltime_set_timezone(struct icaltimetype t, const icaltimezone *zone)
 *	- icaltime_day_of_year(struct icaltimetype t)
 *	- icaltime_day_of_week(struct icaltimetype t)
 *	- icaltime_start_doy_of_week(struct icaltimetype t)
 *	- icaltime_week_number(struct icaltimetype t)
 *
 *	Query methods include:
 *
 *	- icaltime_is_null_time(struct icaltimetype t)
 *	- icaltime_is_valid_time(struct icaltimetype t)
 *	- icaltime_is_date(struct icaltimetype t)
 *	- icaltime_is_utc(struct icaltimetype t)
 *	- icaltime_is_floating(struct icaltimetype t)
 *
 *	Modify, compare and utility methods include:
 *
 *	- icaltime_add(struct icaltimetype t, struct icaldurationtype  d)
 *	- icaltime_subtract(struct icaltimetype t1, struct icaltimetype t2)
 *      - icaltime_compare_with_zone(struct icaltimetype a,struct icaltimetype b)
 *	- icaltime_compare(struct icaltimetype a,struct icaltimetype b)
 *	- icaltime_compare_date_only(struct icaltimetype a,
 *		struct icaltimetype b)
 *	- icaltime_adjust(struct icaltimetype *tt, int days, int hours,
 *		int minutes, int seconds);
 *	- icaltime_normalize(struct icaltimetype t);
 *	- icaltime_convert_to_zone(const struct icaltimetype tt,
 *		icaltimezone *zone);
