+
+
+
+<p> The TQTime class provides clock time functions.
+<p>
+
+<p> A TQTime object contains a clock time, i.e. the number of hours,
+minutes, seconds, and milliseconds since midnight. It can read the
+current time from the system clock and measure a span of elapsed
+time. It provides functions for comparing times and for
+manipulating a time by adding a number of (milli)seconds.
+<p> TQTime uses the 24-hour clock format; it has no concept of AM/PM.
+It operates in local time; it knows nothing about time zones or
+daylight savings time.
+<p> A TQTime object is typically created either by giving the number of
+hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds explicitly, or by using
+the static function <a href="#currentTime">currentTime</a>(), which creates a TQTime object
+that contains the system's clock time. Note that the accuracy
+depends on the accuracy of the underlying operating system; not
+all systems provide 1-millisecond accuracy.
+<p> The <a href="#hour">hour</a>(), <a href="#minute">minute</a>(), <a href="#second">second</a>(), and <a href="#msec">msec</a>() functions provide
+access to the number of hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds
+of the time. The same information is provided in textual format by
+the <a href="#toString">toString</a>() function.
+<p> TQTime provides a full set of operators to compare two TQTime
+objects. One time is considered smaller than another if it is
+earlier than the other.
+<p> The time a given number of seconds or milliseconds later than a
+given time can be found using the <a href="#addSecs">addSecs</a>() or <a href="#addMSecs">addMSecs</a>()
+functions. Correspondingly, the number of (milli)seconds between
+two times can be found using the <a href="#secsTo">secsTo</a>() or <a href="#msecsTo">msecsTo</a>() functions.
+<p> TQTime can be used to measure a span of elapsed time using the
+<a href="#start">start</a>(), <a href="#restart">restart</a>(), and <a href="#elapsed">elapsed</a>() functions.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="qdate.html">TQDate</a>, <a href="qdatetime.html">TQDateTime</a>, and <a href="time.html">Time and Date</a>.

+</h3>
+Returns the current time as reported by the system clock, for the

+<h3 class=fn><a href="qtime.html">TQTime</a> <a name="currentTime-2"></a>TQTime::currentTime ()<tt> [static]</tt>
+</h3>
+This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
+<p> Returns the current time as reported by the system clock.
+<p> Note that the accuracy depends on the accuracy of the underlying
+operating system; not all systems provide 1-millisecond accuracy.
+
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="elapsed"></a>TQTime::elapsed () const
+</h3>
+Returns the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the
+last time <a href="#start">start</a>() or <a href="#restart">restart</a>() was called.
+<p> Note that the counter wraps to zero 24 hours after the last call
+to start() or restart.
+<p> Note that the accuracy depends on the accuracy of the underlying
+operating system; not all systems provide 1-millisecond accuracy.
+<p> <b>Warning:</b> If the system's clock setting has been changed since the

+or off.

+Returns the hour part (0..23) of the time.
+
+<p>Examples: <a href="aclock-example.html#x1202">aclock/aclock.cpp</a> and <a href="tictac-example.html#x41">tictac/tictac.cpp</a>.

+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isValid"></a>TQTime::isValid () const
+</h3>
+Returns TRUE if the time is valid; otherwise returns FALSE. The

+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isValid-2"></a>TQTime::isValid ( int&nbsp;h, int&nbsp;m, int&nbsp;s, int&nbsp;ms = 0 )<tt> [static]</tt>
+</h3>
+This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
+<p> Returns TRUE if the specified time is valid; otherwise returns
+FALSE.
+<p> The time is valid if <em>h</em> is in the range 0..23, <em>m</em> and <em>s</em> are
+in the range 0..59, and <em>ms</em> is in the range 0..999.
+<p> Example:
+<pre>

+
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="msecsTo"></a>TQTime::msecsTo ( const&nbsp;<a href="qtime.html">TQTime</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;t ) const
+</h3>
+Returns the number of milliseconds from this time to <em>t</em> (which
+is negative if <em>t</em> is earlier than this time).
+<p> Because TQTime measures time within a day and there are 86400
+seconds in a day, the result is always between -86400000 and
+86400000 msec.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#secsTo">secsTo</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="operator!-eq"></a>TQTime::operator!= ( const&nbsp;<a href="qtime.html">TQTime</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;t ) const

+
+<p> Returns TRUE if this time is later than or equal to <em>t</em>;
+otherwise returns FALSE.
+
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="restart"></a>TQTime::restart ()
+</h3>
+Sets this time to the current time and returns the number of
+milliseconds that have elapsed since the last time <a href="#start">start</a>() or
+<a href="#restart">restart</a>() was called.
+<p> This function is guaranteed to be atomic and is thus very handy
+for repeated measurements. Call start() to start the first
+measurement and then restart() for each later measurement.
+<p> Note that the counter wraps to zero 24 hours after the last call
+to start() or restart().
+<p> <b>Warning:</b> If the system's clock setting has been changed since the
+last time start() or restart() was called, the result is
+undefined. This can happen when daylight savings time is turned on
+or off.

+
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="second"></a>TQTime::second () const
+</h3>
+Returns the second part (0..59) of the time.
+
+<p>Example: <a href="tictac-example.html#x43">tictac/tictac.cpp</a>.
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="secsTo"></a>TQTime::secsTo ( const&nbsp;<a href="qtime.html">TQTime</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;t ) const
+</h3>
+Returns the number of seconds from this time to <em>t</em> (which is
+negative if <em>t</em> is earlier than this time).
+<p> Because TQTime measures time within a day and there are 86400
+seconds in a day, the result is always between -86400 and 86400.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#addSecs">addSecs</a>() and <a href="qdatetime.html#secsTo">TQDateTime::secsTo</a>().

+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="setHMS"></a>TQTime::setHMS ( int&nbsp;h, int&nbsp;m, int&nbsp;s, int&nbsp;ms = 0 )
+</h3>
+Sets the time to hour <em>h</em>, minute <em>m</em>, seconds <em>s</em> and
+milliseconds <em>ms</em>.
+<p> <em>h</em> must be in the range 0..23, <em>m</em> and <em>s</em> must be in the
+range 0..59, and <em>ms</em> must be in the range 0..999. Returns TRUE
