This class is important to handle XMLRPC dateTime.iso8601 values,
correcly, because normal UNIX-dates (class Date) only handle dates
from year 1970 on, and class Time handles dates without the time
component. XMLRPC::DateTime is able to store a XMLRPC
dateTime.iso8601 value correctly.
XMLRPC::DateTime.new( year, month, day, hour, min, sec )Creates a new XMLRPC::DateTime instance with the
parameters year, month, day as date and
hour, min, sec as time.
Raises ArgumentError if a parameter is out of range, or year is not
of type Integer.
XMLRPC::DateTime#year
XMLRPC::DateTime#month
XMLRPC::DateTime#day
XMLRPC::DateTime#hour
XMLRPC::DateTime#min
XMLRPC::DateTime#secReturn the value of the specified date/time component.
XMLRPC::DateTime#monAlias for XMLRPC::DateTime#month.
XMLRPC::DateTime#year=( value )
XMLRPC::DateTime#month=( value )
XMLRPC::DateTime#day=( value )
XMLRPC::DateTime#hour=( value )
XMLRPC::DateTime#min=( value )
XMLRPC::DateTime#sec=( value )Set value as the new date/time component.
Raises ArgumentError if value is out of range, or in the case
of XMLRPC::DateTime#year= if value is not of type Integer.
XMLRPC::DateTime#mon=( value )Alias for XMLRPC::DateTime#month=.
XMLRPC::DateTime#to_timeReturn a Time object of the date/time which self represents.
If the year is below 1970, this method returns nil,
because Time cannot handle years below 1970.
The used timezone is GMT.
XMLRPC::DateTime#to_dateReturn a Date object of the date which self represents.
The Date object do not contain the time component (only date).
XMLRPC::DateTime#to_aReturns all date/time components in an array.
Returns [year, month, day, hour, min, sec].
