Description

Facet used for format-based output of time types This class provides for the use of format strings to output times. In addition to the flags for formatting date elements, the following are the allowed format flags:

  • x X => default format - enables addition of more flags to default (ie. "%x %X %z")

  • f => fractional seconds ".123456"

  • F => fractional seconds or none: like frac sec but empty if frac sec == 0

  • s => seconds w/ fractional sec "02.123" (this is the same as "%S%f) - %S => seconds "02" - %z => abbreviated time zone "EDT" - %Z => full time zone name "Eastern Daylight Time"

time_facet public construct/copy/destruct

  1. explicit time_facet(::size_t ref_arg = 0);
    sets default formats for ptime, local_date_time, and time_duration
  2. explicit time_facet(const char_type * format_arg, 
                        period_formatter_type period_formatter_arg = period_formatter_type(), 
                        const special_values_formatter_type & special_value_formatter = special_values_formatter_type(), 
                        date_gen_formatter_type dg_formatter = date_gen_formatter_type(), 
                        ::size_t ref_arg = 0);
    Construct the facet with an explicitly specified format.
