std::wcsftime: std::wcsftime

NAME

std::wcsftime - std::wcsftime

Synopsis

Defined in header <cwchar>
std::size_t wcsftime( wchar_t* str, std::size_t count, const wchar_t* format, const std::tm* time );

Converts the date and time information from a given calendar time time to a null-terminated wide character string str according to format string format. Up to count wide characters are written.

Parameters

str - pointer to the first element of the wchar_t array for output
count - maximum number of wide characters to write
         pointer to a null-terminated wide character string specifying the format of conversion.
         The format string consists of zero or more conversion specifiers and ordinary characters (except %). All ordinary characters, including the terminating null character, are copied to the output string without modification. Each conversion specification begins with % character, optionally followed by E or O modifier (ignored if unsupported by the locale), followed by the character that determines the behavior of the specifier. The following format specifiers are available:

         Conversion Explanation Used fields
         specifier
         % writes literal %. The full conversion specification must be %%.
         n writes newline character

Example

// Run this code

  #include <ctime>
  #include <cwchar>
  #include <iostream>
  #include <locale>

  int main()
  {
      std::locale::global(std::locale("ja_JP.utf8"));
      std::time_t t = std::time(nullptr);
      wchar_t wstr[100];
      if(std::wcsftime(wstr, 100, L"%A %c", std::localtime(&t))) {
          std::wcout << wstr << '\n';
      }
