## Description

GDataGDWhen represents a "when" element from the GData specification.

## Details

### GDataGDWhen

    typedef struct _GDataGDWhen GDataGDWhen;

All the fields in the GDataGDWhen structure are private and should never be accessed directly.

### GDataGDWhenClass

    typedef struct {
    } GDataGDWhenClass;

All the fields in the GDataGDWhenClass structure are private and should never be accessed directly.

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_gd_when_new ()

    GDataGDWhen *       gdata_gd_when_new                   (GTimeVal *start_time,
                                                             GTimeVal *end_time,
                                                             gboolean is_date);

Creates a new GDataGDWhen. More information is available in the GData specification.

`start_time` : | when the event starts or (for zero-duration events) when it occurs
`end_time` : | when the event ends, or `NULL`
`is_date` : | `TRUE` if `start_time` and `end_time` specify dates rather than times, `FALSE` otherwise
Returns : | a new GDataGDWhen, or `NULL`; unref with `g_object_unref()`

Since 0.2.0

### gdata_gd_when_compare ()

    gint                gdata_gd_when_compare               (const GDataGDWhen *a,
                                                             const GDataGDWhen *b);

Compares the two times in a `strcmp()` fashion. `NULL` values are handled gracefully, with `0` returned if both `a` and `b` are `NULL`, `-1` if `a` is `NULL` and `1` if `b` is `NULL`.

The comparison of non-`NULL` values is done on the basis of the `start_time`, `end_time` and `is_date` properties of the GDataGDWhens.

`a` : | a GDataGDWhen, or `NULL`
`b` : | another GDataGDWhen, or `NULL`
Returns : | `0` if `a` equals `b`, `-1` or `1` as appropriate otherwise

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_gd_when_set_start_time ()

    void                gdata_gd_when_set_start_time        (GDataGDWhen *self,
                                                             GTimeVal *start_time);

Sets the "start-time" property to `start_time`.

Gets the "end-time" property and returns it in `end_time`.

If the end time is unset, both fields of the GTimeVal will be `0`.

`self` : | a GDataGDWhen
`end_time` : | return location for the end time

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_gd_when_set_end_time ()

    void                gdata_gd_when_set_end_time          (GDataGDWhen *self,

Set `end_time` to `NULL` to unset the property.

`self` : | a GDataGDWhen
`end_time` : | the new end time, or `NULL`
