Introduction
The class boost::gregorian::gregorian_calendar implements the functions necessary to create the gregorian date system. It converts to the year-month-day form of a date to a day number representation and back.
For most purposes this class is simply accessed by gregorian::date and is not used directly by the user. However, there are useful functions that might be of use such as the end_of_month_day function.
The print month example demonstrates this.
