# TibrvDate

Class

## Declaration

    class com.tibco.tibrv.TibrvDate
      extends java.util.Date

## Purpose

Represent date and time.

This object relies on the method `java.util.Date.toString()` to convert a value to a string.

## Remarks

This class has no `destroy()` method. Instead, the Java garbage collector reclaims storage automatically.

Constant | Description
`TibrvDate.MAX_SECONDS` | Maximum date (in seconds) that this class can represent. The value is 549,755,813,887 (the maximum value of a 40-bit signed integer), which is approximately 17,432 years after the year 1970.
`TibrvDate.MIN_SECONDS` | Minimum date (in seconds) that this class can represent. The value is -549,755,813,888 (the minimum value of a 40-bit signed integer), which is approximately 17,432 years before the year 1970.

Method | Description
`TibrvDate()` | Create a Rendezvous date object.
`TibrvDate.getTimeNanoseconds()` | Extract the modifying value (in nanoseconds) of a date object.
`TibrvDate.getTimeSeconds()` | Extract the partial value (in whole seconds) of a date object.
`TibrvDate.setTime()` | Change the value of a date object.

## Representations

In all three representations, zero denotes the epoch, 12:00 midnight, January 1st, 1970. Range limits in this table denote the extreme value on either side of that center. Bold type indicates the primary unit of measurement for each representation.

Date and Time Representations

Representation | Details
`java.util.Date` | Milliseconds as a 64-bit signed integer.
range in years | `292,471,208`
range in seconds | `9,223,372,036,854,775`
range in milliseconds | `9,223,372,036,854,775,807`
TibrvDate | Seconds as a 64-bit signed integer, plus nanoseconds as a 32-bit unsigned integer. However, values are restricted to the range and granularity supported by Rendezvous wire format. Forcing larger or finer values into this representation causes an exception.
range in years | `292,471,208,677`
range in seconds | `9,223,372,036,854,775,807`
restricted range in seconds | `549,755,813,887`
restricted range in milliseconds | `549,755,813,887,000`
Rendezvous wire format | Seconds as a 40-bit signed integer, plus microseconds as a 24-bit unsigned integer.
range in years | `17,432`
range in seconds | `549,755,813,887`
