std::chrono::local_t(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this is the std::chrono::local_t(3) page from the C++ Standard Libary manual, and the NAME is literally std::chrono::local_t - std::chrono::local_t — iconic, no notes 💅.

✨ Synopsis ✨

Defined in header <chrono>:

struct local_t {};

(since C++20)

The class local_t is a pseudo-clock — yes bestie, that’s the actual term — and it’s used as the first template argument to std::chrono::time_point to indicate that the time point represents local time with respect of a not-yet-specified time zone. local_time supports streaming and the full set of time point arithmetic. slay 🫶.

🦋 Time point family 🦋

Defined in namespace std::chrono:

template<class Duration>
using local_time = std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::local_t, Duration>;

(since C++20)

• using local_seconds = local_time<std::chrono::seconds>; — (since C++20)
• using local_days = local_time<std::chrono::days>; — (since C++20)

the function-template + formatter crew, lowkey the main characters:

• operator<<(std::chrono::local_time) — performs stream output on a local_time; (C++20) (function template) 💖
• from_stream(std::chrono::local_time) — parses a local_time from a stream according to the provided format; (C++20) (function template) ✨
• std::formatter<std::chrono::local_time> — formatting support for local_time; (C++20) (class template specialization) 🌸

• zoned_time — represents a time zone and a time point; (C++20) (class) 🔥
