DateTime.newFromIso8601

Creates a #GDateTime corresponding to the given ISO 8601 formatted string

text. ISO 8601 strings of the form <date><sep><time><tz> are supported, with some extensions from RFC 3339 as mentioned below.

Note that as #GDateTime "is oblivious to leap seconds", leap seconds information in an ISO-8601 string will be ignored, so a 23:59:60 time would be parsed as 23:59:59.

<sep> is the separator and can be either 'T', 't' or ' '. The latter two separators are an extension from RFC 3339.

<date> is in the form:

• YYYY-MM-DD - Year/month/day, e.g. 2016-08-24.
• YYYYMMDD - Same as above without dividers.
• YYYY-DDD - Ordinal day where DDD is from 001 to 366, e.g. 2016-237.
• YYYYDDD - Same as above without dividers.
• YYYY-Www-D - Week day where ww is from 01 to 52 and D from 1-7, e.g. 2016-W34-3.
• YYYYWwwD - Same as above without dividers.

<time> is in the form:

• hh:mm:ss(.sss) - Hours, minutes, seconds (subseconds), e.g. 22:10:42.123.
• hhmmss(.sss) - Same as above without dividers.

<tz> is an optional timezone suffix of the form:

• Z - UTC.
• +hh:mm or -hh:mm - Offset from UTC in hours and minutes, e.g. +12:00.
• +hh or -hh - Offset from UTC in hours, e.g. +12.

If the timezone is not provided in text it must be provided in default_tz (this field is otherwise ignored).

This call can fail (returning null) if text is not a valid ISO 8601 formatted string.

You should release the return value by calling glib.date_time.DateTime.unref when you are done with it.
