21 * \file
22 * \brief C API: Format a date interval.
23 *
24 * A UDateIntervalFormat is used to format the range between two UDate values
25 * in a locale-sensitive way, using a skeleton that specifies the precision and
26 * completeness of the information to show. If the range smaller than the resolution
27 * specified by the skeleton, a single date format will be produced. If the range
28 * is larger than the format specified by the skeleton, a locale-specific fallback
29 * will be used to format the items missing from the skeleton.
30 *
31 * For example, if the range is 2010-03-04 07:56 - 2010-03-04 19:56 (12 hours)
32 * - The skeleton jm will produce
33 * for en_US, "7:56 AM - 7:56 PM"
34 * for en_GB, "7:56 - 19:56"
35 * - The skeleton MMMd will produce
36 * for en_US, "Mar 4"
37 * for en_GB, "4 Mar"
38 * If the range is 2010-03-04 07:56 - 2010-03-08 16:11 (4 days, 8 hours, 15 minutes)
39 * - The skeleton jm will produce
40 * for en_US, "3/4/2010 7:56 AM - 3/8/2010 4:11 PM"
41 * for en_GB, "4/3/2010 7:56 - 8/3/2010 16:11"
42 * - The skeleton MMMd will produce
43 * for en_US, "Mar 4-8"
44 * for en_GB, "4-8 Mar"
45 *
46 * Note: the "-" characters in the above sample output will actually be
47 * Unicode 2013, EN_DASH, in all but the last example.
48 *
49 * Note, in ICU 4.4 the standard skeletons for which date interval format data
50 * is usually available are as follows; best results will be obtained by using
51 * skeletons from this set, or those formed by combining these standard skeletons
52 * (note that for these skeletons, the length of digit field such as d, y, or
53 * M vs MM is irrelevant (but for non-digit fields such as MMM vs MMMM it is
54 * relevant). Note that a skeleton involving h or H generally explicitly requests
55 * that time style (12- or 24-hour time respectively). For a skeleton that
56 * requests the locale's default time style (h or H), use 'j' instead of h or H.
57 * h, H, hm, Hm,
58 * hv, Hv, hmv, Hmv,
59 * d,
60 * M, MMM, MMMM,
61 * Md, MMMd,
62 * MEd, MMMEd,
63 * y,
64 * yM, yMMM, yMMMM,
65 * yMd, yMMMd,
66 * yMEd, yMMMEd
67 *
68 * Locales for which ICU 4.4 seems to have a reasonable amount of this data
69 * include:
70 * af, am, ar, be, bg, bn, ca, cs, da, de (_AT), el, en (_AU,_CA,_GB,_IE,_IN...),
71 * eo, es (_AR,_CL,_CO,...,_US) et, fa, fi, fo, fr (_BE,_CH,_CA), fur, gsw, he,
72 * hr, hu, hy, is, it (_CH), ja, kk, km, ko, lt, lv, mk, ml, mt, nb, nl )_BE),
73 * nn, pl, pt (_PT), rm, ro, ru (_UA), sk, sl, so, sq, sr, sr_Latn, sv, th, to,
74 * tr, uk, ur, vi, zh (_SG), zh_Hant (_HK,_MO)
