std::localtime
From cppreference.com
Defined in header <ctime>
|
||
std::tm* localtime( const std::time_t *time ); |
||
Converts given time since epoch as std::time_t value into calendar time, expressed in local time.
Parameters
time | - | pointer to a time_t object to convert |
Return value
pointer to a static internal std::tm object on success, or null pointer otherwise. The structure may be shared between std::gmtime, std::localtime, and std::ctime, and may be overwritten on each invocation.
Notes
This function may not be thread-safe.
POSIX requires that this function sets errno to EOVERFLOW if it fails because the argument is too large.
POSIX specifies that the timezone information is determined by this function as if by calling tzset, which reads the environment variable TZ.
Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <iomanip> #include <ctime> #include <stdlib.h> // defines putenv in POSIX int main() { std::time_t t = std::time(nullptr); std::cout << "UTC: " << std::put_time(std::gmtime(&t), "%c %Z") << '\n'; std::cout << "local: " << std::put_time(std::localtime(&t), "%c %Z") << '\n'; // POSIX-specific: std::string tz = "TZ=Asia/Singapore"; putenv(tz.data()); std::cout << "Singapore: " << std::put_time(std::localtime(&t), "%c %Z") << '\n'; }
Output:
UTC: Fri Sep 15 14:16:29 2017 GMT local: Fri Sep 15 14:16:29 2017 UTC Singapore: Fri Sep 15 22:16:29 2017 SGT
