Class template std::time_get encapsulates date and time parsing rules. The I/O manipulator std::get_time uses the std::time_get facet of the I/O stream's locale to convert text input to a std::tm object.

Inheritance diagram

If a std::time_get specialization is not guaranteed to be provided by the standard library (see below), the behaviors of its member functions (except the constructor and destructor) are not guaranteed as specified.

Specializations

The standard library is guaranteed to provide the following specializations (they are required to be implemented by any locale object):

Defined in header <locale>
std::time_get<char> parses narrow string representations of date and time
std::time_get<wchar_t> parses wide string representations of date and time

In addition, the standard library is also guaranteed to provide every specialization that satisfies the following type requirements:

  • CharT is one of char and wchar_t, and
  • InputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator.

Example

Note: choose clang to observe the output. libstdc++ does not correctly implement the %b specifier: bug 78714

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <locale>
#include <iomanip>
 
int main()
{
    std::tm t = {};
    std::istringstream ss("2011-Februar-18 23:12:34");
    ss.imbue(std::locale("de_DE.utf-8"));
 
    ss >> std::get_time(&t, "%Y-%b-%d %H:%M:%S");
    if (ss.fail())
        std::cout << "Parse failed\n";
    else
        std::cout << std::put_time(&t, "%c") << '\n';
}

Possible output:

Sun Feb 18 23:12:34 2011
