+ * Parse a date/time string 's' and store the parsed date/time result

+ *
+ * A reference date/time is used for determining the "date/time units"
+ * (roughly equivalent to struct tm members) not specified by 's'. If
+ * 'now' is non-NULL, it must contain a pointer to a time_t to be used
+ * as reference date/time. Otherwise, the current time is used.
+ *
+ * If 's' does not specify a full date/time, the 'round' parameter
+ * specifies if and how the result should be rounded as follows:

+ *   PARSE_TIME_ROUND_UP: All date/time units that are more accurate

+ *   smallest valid value for that unit. The most accurate unit
+ *   specified by 's' is incremented by one (and this is rolled over
+ *   to the less accurate units as necessary). Rest of the unspecified
+ *   units are set as in PARSE_TIME_NO_ROUND.
