ComponentPeriodKind | Way in which a period of time is specified.
ComponentRangeKind | The kind of range.
ComponentTransparency | Time transparency.
ComponentVType | Types of calendar components to be stored by a ECalComponent, as per RFC 2445. We don’t put the alarm component type here since we store alarms as separate structures inside the other “real” components.

UtilFilterPropertyFunc | Function used to determine whether the given property `prop` should be considered. since: 3.52
UtilForeachCategoryFunc | Function called for each non-empty category from e_cal_util_foreach_category(). The `func` can assume owenrship of the `inout_category` content, in which case it should also set its content to `NULL`, to avoid free of it. The string itself, if taken, should be freed with g_free(), when no longer needed. since: 3.48

#### Functions

isodate_from_time_t | Creates an ISO 8601 UTC representation from a time value.
match_tzid | Matches `tzid` against the system timezone definitions and returns the matching TZID, or `NULL` if none found. since: 2.24
recur_describe_recurrence | Describes some simple types of recurrences in a human-readable and localized way. The `flags` influence the output format and what to do when the `icalcomp` contains more complicated recurrence, some which the function cannot describe. since: 3.30
recur_describe_recurrence_ex | Describes some simple types of recurrences in a human-readable and localized way. The `flags` influence the output format and what to do when the `icalcomp` contains more complicated recurrence, some which the function cannot describe. since: 3.38
recur_ensure_end_dates | This recalculates the end dates for recurrence & exception rules which use the COUNT property. If `refresh` is `TRUE` it will recalculate all enddates for rules which use COUNT. If `refresh` is `FALSE`, it will only calculate the enddate if it hasn’t already been set. It returns `TRUE` if the component was changed, i.e. if the component should be saved at some point. We store the enddate in the `E_CAL_EVOLUTION_ENDDATE_PARAMETER` parameter of the RRULE or EXRULE. since: 2.32
recur_generate_instances_sync | Calls the given callback function for each occurrence of the event that intersects the range between the given `start` and `end` times (the end time is not included). Note that the occurrences may start before the given start time. since: 3.20
recur_get_localized_nth | since: 3.28
recur_obtain_enddate |
system_timezone_get_location | Fetches the system timezone location string. since: 2.28
time_add_day | Adds a day onto the time, using local time. Note that if clocks go forward due to daylight savings time, there are some non-existent local times, so the hour may be changed to make it a valid time. This also means that it may not be wise to keep calling `time_add_day()` to step through a certain period - if the hour gets changed to make it valid time, any further calls to `time_add_day()` will also return this hour, which may not be what you want.
time_add_day_with_zone | Adds or subtracts a number of days to/from the given time_t value, using the given timezone. NOTE: this function is only here to make the transition to the timezone functions easier. New code should use ICalTime values and `i_cal_time_adjust()` to add or subtract days, hours, minutes & seconds.
time_add_month_with_zone | Adds or subtracts a number of months to/from the given time_t value, using the given timezone.
time_add_week | Adds the given number of weeks to a time value.
time_add_week_with_zone | Adds or subtracts a number of weeks to/from the given time_t value, using the given timezone. NOTE: this function is only here to make the transition to the timezone functions easier. New code should use ICalTime values and `i_cal_time_adjust()` to add or subtract days, hours, minutes & seconds.
time_day_begin | Returns the start of the day, according to the local time.
time_day_begin_with_zone | Returns the start of the day containing the given time_t, using the given timezone. NOTE: this function is only here to make the transition to the timezone functions easier. New code should use ICalTime values and `i_cal_time_adjust()` to add or subtract days, hours, minutes & seconds.
time_day_end | Returns the end of the day, according to the local time.
time_day_end_with_zone | Returns the end of the day containing the given time_t, using the given timezone. (The end of the day is the start of the next day.) NOTE: this function is only here to make the transition to the timezone functions easier. New code should use ICalTime values and `i_cal_time_adjust()` to add or subtract days, hours, minutes & seconds.
time_day_of_week | Returns the day of the week for the specified date, 0 (Sun) to 6 (Sat). For the days that were removed on the Gregorian reformation, it returns Thursday. Year is the normal year, e.g. 2001. Month is 0 to 11.
time_day_of_year | Returns the 1-based day number within the year of the specified date. Year is the normal year, e.g. 2001. Month is 0 to 11.
time_days_in_month | Returns the number of days in the month. Year is the normal year, e.g. 2001. Month is 0 (Jan) to 11 (Dec).
time_from_isodate | Converts an ISO 8601 UTC time string into a time_t value.
time_is_leap_year | Returns whether the specified year is a leap year. Year is the normal year, e.g. 2001.
time_leap_years_up_to | Returns the number of leap years since year 1 up to (but not including) the specified year. Year is the normal year, e.g. 2001.
time_month_begin_with_zone | Returns the start of the month containing the given time_t, using the given timezone. NOTE: this function is only here to make the transition to the timezone functions easier. New code should use ICalTime values and `i_cal_time_adjust()` to add or subtract days, hours, minutes & seconds.
time_to_gdate_with_zone | Converts a time_t value to a `GDate` structure using the specified timezone. This is analogous to `g_date_set_time()` but takes the timezone into account.
time_week_begin_with_zone | Returns the start of the week containing the given time_t, using the given timezone. week_start_day should use the same values as mktime(), i.e. 0 (Sun) to 6 (Sat). NOTE: this function is only here to make the transition to the timezone functions easier. New code should use ICalTime values and `i_cal_time_adjust()` to add or subtract days, hours, minutes & seconds.
time_year_begin_with_zone | Returns the start of the year containing the given time_t, using the given timezone. NOTE: this function is only here to make the transition to the timezone functions easier. New code should use ICalTime values and `i_cal_time_adjust()` to add or subtract days, hours, minutes & seconds.

util_component_dup_x_property | Searches for an X property named `x_name` within X properties of `icalcomp` and returns its value as a newly allocated string. Free it with g_free(), when no longer needed. since: 3.34
util_component_find_property_for_locale | Searches properties of kind `prop_kind` in the `icalcomp` and returns one, which is usable for the `locale`. When `locale` is `NULL`, the current locale is assumed. If no such property for the locale exists either the one with no language parameter or the first found is returned. since: 3.46
util_component_find_property_for_locale_filtered | Searches properties of kind `prop_kind` in the `icalcomp`, which can be filtered by the `func`, and returns one, which is usable for the `locale`.

util_component_remove_property_by_kind | Removes all or only the first property of kind `kind` in `icalcomp`. since: 3.30
util_component_remove_x_property | Removes the first X property named `x_name` in `icalcomp`. since: 3.34
util_component_set_x_property | Sets a value of the first X property named `x_name` in `icalcomp`, if any such already exists, or adds a new property with this name and value. As a special case, if `value` is `NULL`, then removes the first X property named `x_name` from `icalcomp` instead. since: 3.34
util_conflict_resolution_to_operation_flags | Encodes the `EConflictResolution` into the bit-or of `ECalOperationFlags`. The returned value can be bit-or-ed with other `ECalOperationFlags` values. since: 3.34

util_diff_categories | Compares list of categories on the `old_comp` with the list of categories on the `new_comp` and fills `out_added` categories and `out_removed` categories accordingly, as if the `old_comp` is replaced with the `new_comp`. When either of the components is `NULL`, it’s considered as having no categories set. Rather than returning empty `GHashTable`, the return argument is set to `NULL` when there are no added/removed categories. since: 3.48
util_email_addresses_equal | Compares two email addresses and returns whether they are equal. Each address can contain a “mailto:” prefix. The two addresses match only if they are non-NULL and non-empty. The address itself is compared case insensitively. since: 3.50
