local_date_time_base(utc_time_type t, boost::shared_ptr< tz_type > tz);

This constructor interprets the passed time as a UTC time. So, for example, if the passed timezone is UTC-5 then the time will be adjusted back 5 hours. The time zone allows for automatic calculation of whether the particular time is adjusted for daylight savings, etc. If the time zone shared pointer is null then time stays unadjusted.

local_date_time_base(date_type d, time_duration_type td, 
                     boost::shared_ptr< tz_type > tz, bool dst_flag);

This constructs a local time -- the passed time information understood to be in the passed tz. The DST flag must be passed to indicate whether the time is in daylight savings or not.

Throws: -- time_label_invalid if the time passed does not exist in the given locale. The non-existent case occurs typically during the shift-back from daylight savings time. When the clock is shifted forward a range of times (2 am to 3 am in the US) is skipped and hence is invalid. dst_not_valid if the DST flag is passed for a period where DST is not active.

local_date_time_base(date_type d, time_duration_type td, 
                     boost::shared_ptr< tz_type > tz, 
                     DST_CALC_OPTIONS calc_option);

This constructs a local time -- the passed time information understood to be in the passed tz. The DST flag is calculated according to the specified rule.

std::string to_string() const;

Returns string in the form "2003-Aug-20 05:00:00 EDT". If time_zone is NULL the time zone abbreviation will be "UTC". The time zone abbrev will not be included if calling object is a special_value

local_date_time_base 
local_time_in(boost::shared_ptr< tz_type > new_tz, 
              time_duration_type td = time_duration_type(0, 0, 0)) const;

returns a local_date_time_base in the given time zone with the optional time_duration added.

std::string zone_name(bool as_offset = false) const;

Optional bool parameter will return time zone as an offset (ie "+07:00" extended iso format). Empty string is returned for classes that do not use a time_zone

std::string zone_abbrev(bool as_offset = false) const;

Optional bool parameter will return time zone as an offset (ie "+0700" iso format). Empty string is returned for classes that do not use a time_zone

time_is_dst_result 
check_dst(date_type d, time_duration_type td, boost::shared_ptr< tz_type > tz) ;

Determines if given time label is in daylight savings for given zone. Takes a date and time_duration representing a local time, along with time zone, and returns a time_is_dst_result object as result.

utc_time_type 
construction_adjustment(utc_time_type t, boost::shared_ptr< tz_type > zone, 
                        bool is_dst) ;

Adjust the passed in time to UTC?

Simple formatting code -- todo remove this?
