Detailed Description

Representing UT as a wrapped time_t mother class.

All output is UTC, don't get confused! The Time is kept in util::UTDate::ut_date_ and always is UTC. All constructors are built to get UTC.

This class works for times between Jan. 1st 1970 (start of time_t epoch) and Dec. 31st 2037 due to overrun of 4 byte time_t epoch (in Jan. 2038).

Exceptions:

util::UTDateException

are thrown on error.
