The time_get facet extracts time and date components from a character string and stores the resulting values in a struct tm argument. The facet parses the string using a specific format as a guide. If the string does not fit the format, then the facet indicates an error by setting the err argument in the public member functions to iosbase::failbit. See member function descriptions for details.
The time_base class includes a set of values for specifying the order in which the three parts of a date appear. The dateorder function returns one of these five possible values:
| Order | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
noorder |
Date format has no set ordering |
|
dmy |
Date order is day, month, year |
|
mdy |
Date order is month, day, year |
|
ymd |
Date order is year, month, day |
|
ydm |
Date order is year, day, month |

char_type
Type of character the facet is instantiated on.
iter_type
Type of iterator used to scan the character buffer.
explicit time_get(size_t refs = 0)
Constructs a time_get facet. If the refs argument is 0, then destruction of the object is delegated to the locale, or locales, containing it. This allows the user to ignore lifetime management issues. On the other hand, if refs is 1, then the object must be explicitly deleted; the locale does not do so. In this case, the object can be maintained across the lifetime of multiple locales.
~time_get(); // virtual and protected
Destroys the facet.
static locale::id id;
Unique identifier for this type of facet.
The public members of the time_get facet include an interface to protected members. Each public member xxx has a corresponding virtual protected member do_xxx. All work is delegated to these protected members. For instance, the long version of the public get_time function simply calls its protected cousin do_get_time.
dateorder

ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
iter_type
get_year(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& f,
ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Each of these public functions simply calls a corresponding protected virtual do_ function.
virtual dateorder do_date_order() const;
Returns the a value indicating the relative ordering of the three basic parts of a date. Possible return values are:
noorder, indicating that the date format has no ordering, an ordering cannot be determined, or the date format contains variable components other than Month, Day and Year. noorder is never returned by the default time_put, but may be used by derived classes.
One of dmy, mdy, ymd, ydm, indicating the relative ordering of Day, Month, and Year.
virtual iter_type
do_get_date(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base&,
ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Fills out the t argument with date values parsed from the character buffer specified by the range (s,end]. If the buffer does not contain a valid date representation, then the err argument is set to iosbase::failbit.
Returns an iterator pointing just beyond the last character that can be determined to be part of a valid date.
virtual iter_type
do_get_monthname(iter_type s, ios_base&,
ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Fills out the tm_mon member of the t argument with a month name parsed from the character buffer specified by the range (s,end]. As with do_get_weekday, this name may be an abbreviation, but the function attempts to read a full name if valid characters are found after an abbreviation. For example, if a full name is "December", and an abbreviation is "Dec", then the string "Dece" causes an error. If an error occurs, then the err argument is set to iosbase::failbit.
Returns an iterator pointing just beyond the last character that can be determined to be part of a valid name.
virtual iter_type
do_get_time(iter_type s, iter_type end, os_base&,
ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Fills out the t argument with time values parsed from the character buffer specified by the range (s,end]. The buffer must contain a valid time representation. Returns an iterator pointing just beyond the last character that can be determined to be part of a valid time.
virtual iter_type
do_get_weekday(iter_type s, iter_type end, os_base&,
ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Fills out the tm_wday member of the t argument with a weekday name parsed from the character buffer specified by the range (s,end]. This name may be an abbreviation, but the function attempts to read a full name if valid characters are found after an abbreviation. For instance, if a full name is "Monday", and an abbreviation is "Mon", then the string "Mond" causes an error. If an error occurs, then the err argument is set to iosbase::failbit.
Returns an iterator pointing just beyond the last character that can be determined to be part of a valid name.
virtual iter_type
do_get_year(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base&,
ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Fills in the tm_year member of the t argument with a year parsed from the character buffer specified by the range (s,end]. If an error occurs, then the err argument is set to iosbase::failbit.
Returns an iterator pointing just beyond the last character that can be determined to be part of a valid year.
