std::chrono::tai_clock(3)

💖 std::chrono::tai_clock — Library Functions Manual, section 3 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about the clock that keeps time by literally counting atoms. yes, this is a C++ standard library thing from libstdc++, and yes, it's giving physics major energy. 🧚✨

✨ NAME ✨

std::chrono::tai_clock — the clock that measures International Atomic Time, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <chrono>

🎀 Public Types 🎀

the whole little type family, all together, cute:

using duration
using period
using rep
using time_point

🦋 Static Public Member Functions 🦋

these are static, so you call them on the class itself, not on some object. main character functions fr:

template<typename _Duration> static tai_time< common_type_t< _Duration,
    seconds > > from_utc (const utc_time< _Duration > &__t)
static time_point now ()
template<typename _Duration> static utc_time< common_type_t< _Duration,
    seconds > > to_utc (const tai_time< _Duration > &__t)

👑 Static Public Attributes 👑

static constexpr bool is_steady

💜 Detailed Description 💜

A clock that measures International Atomic Time. like, the atomic one. the one that does not care about the sun, or the seasons, or your feelings. ⚛️

The epoch is 1958-01-01 00:00:00. that's the birthday. that's where the counting starts. periodt. 🎂

Since

C++20 — so if your compiler is ancient, this is not the vibe check you're looking for 😭

🌈 Author 🌈

Generated automatically by Doxygen for libstdc++ from the source code. so not a human author, just a robot doing its little documentation slay 🤖💖

ngl bestie, this one is short and sweet: it's the atomic clock, epoch is 1958-01-01 00:00:00, it's been around since C++20, and the docs wrote themselves. iconic behaviour, honestly. 🫶

and that's the whole page!! mwah 💋 — brought to you by libstdc++, from the std::chrono::tai_clock(3) page, and yes the vibe is immaculate. bye bestie, go convert some UTC 🦋⭐
