Two‐byte header for extended‐binary date‐and‐time encodings.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<balber_berutil.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
class BerUtil_DateAndTimeHeader;
----

== Description

This component‐private, in‐core, value‐semantic attribute class provides a representation of the information available in the first two bytes of any extended‐binary‐encoding formatted data. All extended‐binary encoding schemes for date‐and‐time types contain a 2‐byte header in the same format, which can be unambiguously distinguished from the first 2 bytes of a date‐and‐time type in its corresponding compact‐binary‐encoding format or its ISO 8601 format.
