<para>
Returns associative array with detailed info about given date/time.
</para>
<para>
The returned array has keys for <literal>year</literal>,
<literal>month</literal>, <literal>day</literal>, <literal>hour</literal>,
<literal>minute</literal>, <literal>second</literal>,
<literal>fraction</literal>, and <literal>is_localtime</literal>.
</para>
<para>
If <literal>is_localtime</literal> is present then
<literal>zone_type</literal> indicates the type of timezone. For type
<literal>1</literal> (UTC offset) the <literal>zone</literal>,
<literal>is_dst</literal> fields are added; for type <literal>2</literal>
(abbreviation) the fields <literal>tz_abbr</literal>,
<literal>is_dst</literal> are added; and for type <literal>3</literal>
(timezone identifier) the <literal>tz_abbr</literal>,
<literal>tz_id</literal> are added.
</para>
<para>
The array includes <literal>warning_count</literal> and
<literal>warnings</literal> fields. The first one indicate how many
warnings there were.
The keys of elements <literal>warnings</literal> array indicate the
position in the given <parameter>datetime</parameter> where the warning
occurred, with the string value describing the warning itself. An example
below shows such a warning.
</para>
<para>
The array also contains <literal>error_count</literal> and
<literal>errors</literal> fields. The first one indicate how many errors
were found.
The keys of elements <literal>errors</literal> array indicate the
position in the given <parameter>datetime</parameter> where the error
occurred, with the string value describing the error itself. An example
below shows such an error.
</para>
<warning>
<para>
The number of array elements in the <literal>warnings</literal> and
<literal>errors</literal> arrays might be less than
<literal>warning_count</literal> or <literal>error_count</literal> if they
occurred at the same position.
