If the range smaller than the resolution * specified by the skeleton, a single date format will be produced. If the range * is larger than the format specified by the skeleton, a locale-specific fallback * will be used to format the items missing from the skeleton. * * For example, if the range is 2010-03-04 07:56 - 2010-03-04 19:56 (12 hours) * - The skeleton jm will produce * for en_US, "7:56 AM - 7:56 PM" * for en_GB, "7:56 - 19:56" * - The skeleton MMMd will produce * for en_US, "Mar 4" * for en_GB, "4 Mar" * If the range is 2010-03-04 07:56 - 2010-03-08 16:11 (4 days, 8 hours, 15 minutes) * - The skeleton jm will produce * for en_US, "3/4/2010 7:56 AM - 3/8/2010 4:11 PM" * for en_GB, "4/3/2010 7:56 - 8/3/2010 16:11" * - The skeleton MMMd will produce * for en_US, "Mar 4-8" * for en_GB, "4-8 Mar" * * Note: the "-" characters in the above sample output will actually be * Unicode 2013, EN_DASH, in all but the last example. * * Note, in ICU 4.4 the standard skeletons for which date interval format data * is usually available are as follows; best results will be obtained by using * skeletons from this set, or those formed by combining these standard skeletons * (note that for these skeletons, the length of digit field such as d, y, or * M vs MM is irrelevant (but for non-digit fields such as MMM vs MMMM it is * relevant). Note that a skeleton involving h or H generally explicitly requests * that time style (12- or 24-hour time respectively). For a skeleton that * requests the locale's default time style (h or H), use 'j' instead of h or H. * h, H, hm, Hm, * hv, Hv, hmv, Hmv, * d, * M, MMM, MMMM, * Md, MMMd, * MEd, MMMEd, * y, * yM, yMMM, yMMMM, * yMd, yMMMd, * yMEd, yMMMEd * * Locales for which ICU 4.4 seems to have a reasonable amount of this data * include: * af, am, ar, be, bg, bn, ca, cs, da, de (_AT), el, en (_AU,_CA,_GB,_IE,_IN...), * eo, es (_AR,_CL,_CO,...,_US) et, fa, fi, fo, fr (_BE,_CH,_CA), fur, gsw, he, * hr, hu, hy, is, it (_CH), ja, kk, km, ko, lt, lv, mk, ml, mt, nb, nl )_BE), * nn, pl, pt (_PT), rm, ro, ru (_UA), sk, sl, so, sq, sr, sr_Latn, sv, th, to, * tr, uk, ur, vi, zh (_SG), zh_Hant (_HK,_MO) */ /** * Opaque UDateIntervalFormat object for use in C programs. * @stable ICU 4.8 */ struct UDateIntervalFormat; typedef struct UDateIntervalFormat UDateIntervalFormat; /**< C typedef for struct UDateIntervalFormat. @stable ICU 4.8 */ #ifndef U_HIDE_DRAFT_API struct UFormattedDateInterval; /** * Opaque struct to contain the results of a UDateIntervalFormat operation. * @draft ICU 64 */ typedef struct UFormattedDateInterval UFormattedDateInterval; #endif /* U_HIDE_DRAFT_API */ /** * Open a new UDateIntervalFormat object using the predefined rules for a * given locale plus a specified skeleton. * @param locale * The locale for whose rules should be used; may be NULL for * default locale. * @param skeleton * A pattern containing only the fields desired for the interval * format, for example "Hm", "yMMMd", or "yMMMEdHm". * @param skeletonLength * The length of skeleton; may be -1 if the skeleton is zero-terminated. * @param tzID * A timezone ID specifying the timezone to use.
