> class time_put;

Class template std::time_put encapsulates date and time formatting rules. The I/O manipulator std::put_time uses the std::time_put facet of the I/O stream's locale to generate text representation of an std::tm object.

Type requirements

-
OutputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyOutputIterator.

Specializations

Two standalone (locale-independent) full specializations and two partial specializations are provided by the standard library:

Defined in header <locale>
std::time_put<char> creates narrow string representations of date and time
std::time_put<wchar_t> creates wide string representations of date and time
std::time_put<char, OutputIt> creates narrow string representations of date and time using custom output iterator
std::time_put<wchar_t, OutputIt> creates wide string representations of date and time using custom output iterator

In addition, every locale object constructed in a C++ program implements its own (locale-specific) versions of these specializations.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <iomanip>
#include <codecvt>
 
int main()
{
    std::time_t t = std::time(NULL);
    std::wbuffer_convert<std::codecvt_utf8<wchar_t>> conv(std::cout.rdbuf());
    std::wostream out(&conv);
    out.imbue(std::locale("ja_JP.utf8"));
    // this I/O manipulator std::put_time uses std::time_put<wchar_t>
    out << std::put_time(std::localtime(&t), L"%A %c") << '\n';
}
