 * \brief C API: DateFormat
 *
 * <h2> Date Format C API</h2>
 *
 * Date Format C API  consists of functions that convert dates and
 * times from their internal representations to textual form and back again in a
 * language-independent manner. Converting from the internal representation (milliseconds
 * since midnight, January 1, 1970) to text is known as "formatting," and converting
 * from text to millis is known as "parsing."  We currently define only one concrete
 * structure UDateFormat, which can handle pretty much all normal
 * date formatting and parsing actions.
 * <P>
 * Date Format helps you to format and parse dates for any locale. Your code can
 * be completely independent of the locale conventions for months, days of the
 * week, or even the calendar format: lunar vs. solar.
 * <P>
 * To format a date for the current Locale with default time and date style,
 * use one of the static factory methods:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *  UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *  UChar *myString;
 *  int32_t myStrlen = 0;
 *  UDateFormat* dfmt = udat_open(UCAL_DEFAULT, UCAL_DEFAULT, NULL, "PST", &status);
 *  myStrlen = udat_format(dfmt, myDate, NULL, myStrlen, NULL, &status);
 *  if (status==U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
 *      status=U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *      myString=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (myStrlen+1) );
 *      udat_format(dfmt, myDate, myString, myStrlen+1, NULL, &status);
 *  }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * If you are formatting multiple numbers, it is more efficient to get the
 * format and use it multiple times so that the system doesn't have to fetch the
 * information about the local language and country conventions multiple times.
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *  UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *  int32_t i, myStrlen = 0;
 *  UChar* myString;
 *  char buffer[1024];
 *  UDate myDateArr[] = { 0.0, 100000000.0, 2000000000.0 }; // test values
 *  UDateFormat* df = udat_open(UCAL_DEFAULT, UCAL_DEFAULT, NULL, "GMT", &status);
 *  for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
 *      myStrlen = udat_format(df, myDateArr[i], NULL, myStrlen, NULL, &status);
 *      if(status == U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
 *          status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *          myString = (UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (myStrlen+1) );
 *          udat_format(df, myDateArr[i], myString, myStrlen+1, NULL, &status);
 *          printf("%s\n", u_austrcpy(buffer, myString) );
 *          free(myString);
 *      }
 *  }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * To get specific fields of a date, you can use UFieldPosition to
 * get specific fields.
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *  UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *  UFieldPosition pos;
 *  UChar *myString;
 *  int32_t myStrlen = 0;
 *  char buffer[1024];
 *
 *  pos.field = 1;  // Same as the DateFormat::EField enum
 *  UDateFormat* dfmt = udat_open(UCAL_DEFAULT, UCAL_DEFAULT, NULL, "PST", &status);
 *  myStrlen = udat_format(dfmt, myDate, NULL, myStrlen, &pos, &status);
 *  if (status==U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
 *      status=U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *      myString=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (myStrlen+1) );
 *      udat_format(dfmt, myDate, myString, myStrlen+1, &pos, &status);
 *  }
 *  printf("date format: %s\n", u_austrcpy(buffer, myString));
 *  buffer[pos.endIndex] = 0;   // NULL terminate the string.
 *  printf("UFieldPosition position equals %s\n", &buffer[pos.beginIndex]);
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * To format a date for a different Locale, specify it in the call to
 * udat_open()
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *        UDateFormat* df = udat_open(UDAT_SHORT, UDAT_SHORT, "fr_FR", "GMT", &status);
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * You can use a DateFormat API udat_parse() to parse.
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *  UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *  int32_t parsepos=0;
 *  UDate myDate = udat_parse(df, myString, u_strlen(myString), &parsepos, &status);
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 *  You can pass in different options for the arguments for date and time style
 *  to control the length of the result; from SHORT to MEDIUM to LONG to FULL.
 *  The exact result depends on the locale, but generally:
 *  see UDateFormatStyle for more details
 * <ul type=round>
 *   <li>   UDAT_SHORT is completely numeric, such as 12/13/52 or 3:30pm
 *   <li>   UDAT_MEDIUM is longer, such as Jan 12, 1952
 *   <li>   UDAT_LONG is longer, such as January 12, 1952 or 3:30:32pm
 *   <li>   UDAT_FULL is pretty completely specified, such as
 *          Tuesday, April 12, 1952 AD or 3:30:42pm PST.
 * </ul>
 * You can also set the time zone on the format if you wish.
 * <P>
 * You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with Parse Position and
 * UFieldPosition to allow you to
 * <ul type=round>
 *   <li>   Progressively parse through pieces of a string.
 *   <li>   Align any particular field, or find out where it is for selection
 *          on the screen.
 * </ul>
