 <a name="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
 <p>The <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="struct GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> data structure represents a day between January 1, Year 1,
 and sometime a few thousand years in the future (right now it will go
 to the year 65535 or so, but <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-set-parse" title="g_date_set_parse ()"><code class="function">g_date_set_parse()</code></a> only parses up to the
 year 8000 or so - just count on "a few thousand"). <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="struct GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> is meant to
 represent everyday dates, not astronomical dates or historical dates
 or ISO timestamps or the like. It extrapolates the current Gregorian
 calendar forward and backward in time; there is no attempt to change
 the calendar to match time periods or locations. <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="struct GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> does not store
 time information; it represents a day.</p>
 <p>The <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="struct GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> implementation has several nice features; it is only a
 64-bit struct, so storing large numbers of dates is very efficient. It
 can keep both a Julian and day-month-year representation of the date,
 since some calculations are much easier with one representation or the
 other. A Julian representation is simply a count of days since some
 fixed day in the past; for <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="struct GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> the fixed day is January 1, 1 AD.
 ("Julian" dates in the <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="struct GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> API aren't really Julian dates in the
 technical sense; technically, Julian dates count from the start of the
 Julian period, Jan 1, 4713 BC).</p>
 <p><a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="struct GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a> is simple to use. First you need a "blank" date; you can get a
 dynamically allocated date from <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-new" title="g_date_new ()"><code class="function">g_date_new()</code></a>, or you can declare an
 automatic variable or array and initialize it to a sane state by
 calling <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-clear" title="g_date_clear ()"><code class="function">g_date_clear()</code></a>. A cleared date is sane; it's safe to call
 <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-set-dmy" title="g_date_set_dmy ()"><code class="function">g_date_set_dmy()</code></a> and the other mutator functions to initialize the
 value of a cleared date. However, a cleared date is initially
 invalid, meaning that it doesn't represent a day that exists.
 It is undefined to call any of the date calculation routines on an
 invalid date. If you obtain a date from a user or other
 unpredictable source, you should check its validity with the
 <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-valid" title="g_date_valid ()"><code class="function">g_date_valid()</code></a> predicate. <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-valid" title="g_date_valid ()"><code class="function">g_date_valid()</code></a> is also used to check for
 errors with <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-set-parse" title="g_date_set_parse ()"><code class="function">g_date_set_parse()</code></a> and other functions that can
 fail. Dates can be invalidated by calling <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-clear" title="g_date_clear ()"><code class="function">g_date_clear()</code></a> again.</p>
 <p>It is very important to use the API to access the <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#GDate" title="struct GDate"><span class="type">GDate</span></a>
 struct. Often only the day-month-year or only the Julian
 representation is valid. Sometimes neither is valid. Use the API.</p>
 <p>GLib also features <a class="link" href="glib-GDateTime.html#GDateTime" title="GDateTime"><span class="type">GDateTime</span></a> which represents a precise time.</p>

 <p>Generates a printed representation of the date, in a
 <a class="link" href="glib-running.html#setlocale" title="Locale">locale</a>-specific way.
 Works just like the platform's C library <code class="function">strftime()</code> function,
 but only accepts date-related formats; time-related formats
 give undefined results. Date must be valid. Unlike <code class="function">strftime()</code>
 (which uses the locale encoding), works on a UTF-8 format
 string and stores a UTF-8 result.</p>
 <p>This function does not provide any conversion specifiers in
 addition to those implemented by the platform's C library.
 For example, don't expect that using <a class="link" href="glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-date-strftime" title="g_date_strftime ()"><code class="function">g_date_strftime()</code></a> would
 make the %F provided by the C99 <code class="function">strftime()</code> work on Windows
