NAME¶

std::chrono::operator<<(std::chrono::month) - std::chrono::operator<<(std::chrono::month)

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <chrono>
template< class CharT, class Traits >

std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>& (since C++20)

operator<<( std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>& os, const
std::chrono::month& m );

If !m.ok(), inserts unsigned(m) followed by " is not a valid month" to os.
Otherwise, forms a std::basic_string<CharT> s consisting of the abbreviated month
name for the month represented by m, determined using the locale associated with os,
and inserts s into os.

Equivalent to

return os << (m.ok() ?
std::format(os.getloc(), STATICALLY_WIDEN<CharT>("{:L%b}"), m) :
std::format(os.getloc(), STATICALLY_WIDEN<CharT>("{} is not a valid month"),
unsigned(m)));

where STATICALLY_WIDEN<CharT>("...") is "..." if CharT is char, and L"..." if CharT
is wchar_t.

Return value¶

os

Notes¶

This operator<< is primarily intended for debugging use. For control over
formatting, use std::format.
