public class FreeBusy
extends Property

$Id$

Created: [Apr 14, 2004]

Defines a FREEBUSY iCalendar component property.

     4.8.2.6 Free/Busy Time

        Property Name: FREEBUSY

        Purpose: The property defines one or more free or busy time
        intervals.

        Value Type: PERIOD. The date and time values MUST be in an UTC time
        format.

        Property Parameters: Non-standard or free/busy time type property
        parameters can be specified on this property.

        Conformance: The property can be specified in a "VFREEBUSY" calendar
        component.

        Property Parameter: "FBTYPE" and non-standard parameters can be
        specified on this property.

        Description: These time periods can be specified as either a start
        and end date-time or a start date-time and duration. The date and
        time MUST be a UTC time format.

        "FREEBUSY" properties within the "VFREEBUSY" calendar component
        SHOULD be sorted in ascending order, based on start time and then end
        time, with the earliest periods first.

        The "FREEBUSY" property can specify more than one value, separated by
        the COMMA character (US-ASCII decimal 44). In such cases, the
        "FREEBUSY" property values SHOULD all be of the same "FBTYPE"
        property parameter type (e.g., all values of a particular "FBTYPE"
        listed together in a single property).

        Format Definition: The property is defined by the following notation:

          freebusy   = "FREEBUSY" fbparam ":" fbvalue
                       CRLF

          fbparam    = *(
                     ; the following is optional,
                     ; but MUST NOT occur more than once

                     (";" fbtypeparam) /

                     ; the following is optional,
                     ; and MAY occur more than once

                     (";" xparam)

                     )

          fbvalue    = period *["," period]
          ;Time value MUST be in the UTC time format.
