Find common geometry type.

Given two geometry types, find the most specific common type. Normally used repeatedly with the geometries in a layer to try and establish the most specific geometry type that can be reported for the layer.

NOTE: wkbUnknown is the "worst case" indicating a mixture of geometry types with nothing in common but the base geometry type. wkbNone should be used to indicate that no geometries have been encountered yet, and means the first geometry encountered will establish the preliminary type.

## ◆ OGRParseDate()

int OGRParseDate | ( | const char * | pszInput,
|  | OGRField * | psField,
|  | int | nOptions
| ) |  |

Parse date string.

This function attempts to parse a date string in a variety of formats into the OGRField.Date format suitable for use with OGR. Generally speaking this function is expecting values like:

YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS(.sss)?+nn or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS(.sss)?Z (ISO 8601 format) or YYYY-MM-DDZ or THH:MM(:SS(.sss)?)?Z? (ISO 8601 extended format) or THHMM(SS(.sss)?)?Z? (ISO 8601 basic format)

The seconds may also have a decimal portion (parsed as milliseconds). And just dates (YYYY-MM-DD) or just times (HH:MM:SS[.sss]) are also supported. The date may also be in YYYY/MM/DD format. If the year is less than 100 and greater than 30 a "1900" century value will be set. If it is less than 30 and greater than -1 then a "2000" century value will be set. In the future this function may be generalized, and additional control provided through nOptions, but an nOptions value of "0" should always do a reasonable default form of processing.

The value of psField will be indeterminate if the function fails (returns FALSE).

Parameters

  pszInput | the input date string.
  psField | the OGRField that will be updated with the parsed result.
  nOptions | parsing options. 0 or OGRPARSEDATE_OPTION_LAX

Returns
  TRUE if apparently successful or FALSE on failure.
