26 * \brief C API: Wrapper for DateTimePatternGenerator (unicode/dtptngen.h).
28 * UDateTimePatternGenerator provides flexible generation of date format patterns,
29 * like "yy-MM-dd". The user can build up the generator by adding successive
30 * patterns. Once that is done, a query can be made using a "skeleton", which is
31 * a pattern which just includes the desired fields and lengths. The generator
32 * will return the "best fit" pattern corresponding to that skeleton.
33 * <p>The main method people will use is udatpg_getBestPattern, since normally
34 * UDateTimePatternGenerator is pre-built with data from a particular locale.
35 * However, generators can be built directly from other data as well.
36 * <p><i>Issue: may be useful to also have a function that returns the list of
37 * fields in a pattern, in order, since we have that internally.
38 * That would be useful for getting the UI order of field elements.</i>
42 * Opaque type for a date/time pattern generator object.
45 typedef void *UDateTimePatternGenerator
;
48 * Field number constants for udatpg_getAppendItemFormats() and similar functions.
49 * These constants are separate from UDateFormatField despite semantic overlap
50 * because some fields are merged for the date/time pattern generator.
