CalFreeBusy Type

Describes a single free/busy element in the calendar event.

Remarks

This type describes a FREEBUSY element contained in the calendar data. Each FREEBUSY element will contain a BusyType (BUSY, FREE, BUSY-TENTATIVE, etc.) and a BusyRange, which describes the date and time range for the FREEBUSY element.

Fields

BusyRange
String

Contains the date/time range when the calendar owner is busy. The format for this field is either "DATETIME/DATETIME" or "DATETIME/DURATION"

The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

Durations are represented by the format P<date>T<time>. The date component may contain a number of days or weeks (but not months or years), and the time component may consist of hours, minutes, and seconds. These are represented by an integer value followed by a letter representing the units, as specified by the table below:


P	is the duration designator (historically called "period") placed at the start of the duration representation.
W	is the week designator that follows the value for the number of weeks.
D	is the day designator that follows the value for the number of days.
T	is the time designator that precedes the time components of the representation.
H	is the hour designator that follows the value for the number of hours.
M	is the minute designator that follows the value for the number of minutes.
S	is the second designator that follows the value for the number of seconds.

For example, "P4DT12H30M5S" represents a duration of four days, twelve hours, thirty minutes, and five seconds. Unused date/time designators may be left out completely. (A five-minute duration may be represented as simply "PT5M"). Also note that "PT36H" and "P1DT12H" represent the same duration.

This format is based on ISO-8601, but unlike the ISO specification this duration property does not support durations measured in years or months.

BusyType
String

Indicates the busy status of the corresponding BusyRange. A calendar may use custom values for the BusyType, but the standard values include:

BUSY
FREE
BUSY-TENTATIVE
BUSY-UNAVAILABLE
