std::gmtime

std::tm* gmtime( const std::time_t* time );

Converts given time since epoch as std::time_t value into calendar time, expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Parameters

Return value

Pointer to a static internal std::tm object on success, or null pointer otherwise. The structure may be shared between std::gmtime, std::localtime, and std::ctime and may be overwritten on each invocation.

Notes

This function may not be thread-safe.

POSIX requires that this function sets errno to EOVERFLOW if it fails because the argument is too large.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <ctime>
 
int main()
{
    std::time_t t = std::time(nullptr);
    std::cout << "UTC:   " << std::put_time(std::gmtime(&t), "%c %Z") << '\n';
    std::cout << "local: " << std::put_time(std::localtime(&t), "%c %Z") << '\n';
}
