Returns an object manip of unspecified type such that, given a
std::basic_istream<CharT, Traits> object is, the expression is >> manip calls
from_stream (unqualified, to enable argument-dependent lookup) as follows:

1) from_stream(is, fmt, tp)
2) from_stream(is, fmt.c_str(), tp)
3) from_stream(is, fmt, tp, std::addressof(abbrev))
4) from_stream(is, fmt.c_str(), tp, std::addressof(abbrev))
5) from_stream(is, fmt, tp,
static_cast<std::basic_string<CharT, Traits, Alloc>*>(nullptr), &offset)
6) from_stream(is, fmt.c_str(), tp,
static_cast<std::basic_string<CharT, Traits, Alloc>*>(nullptr), &offset)
7) from_stream(is, fmt, tp, std::addressof(abbrev), &offset)
8) from_stream(is, fmt.c_str(), tp, std::addressof(abbrev), &offset).

The expression is >> manip is an lvalue of type std::basic_istream<CharT, Traits>
with the value is.

These overloads participate in overload resolution only if the corresponding
from_stream expression is well-formed.

Implementations are recommended to make it difficult to use potentially dangling
references to the format string, e.g., by making return types non-movable and
preventing operator>> from accepting lvalues of return types.

Parameters¶

fmt - a format string (see below)
tp - object to hold the parse result
abbrev - string to hold the time zone abbreviation or name corresponding to the %Z
specifier
offset - duration to represent the offset from UTC corresponding to the %z specifier

Format string

The format string consists of zero or more conversion specifiers and ordinary
characters. Each ordinary character, excluding whitespace characters and the
terminating null character, matches one identical character from the input stream,
or causes the function to fail if the next character on the stream does not compare
equal.

Each whitespace character matches zero or more whitespace characters in the input
stream.

Each unmodified conversion specifier begins with a % character followed by a
character that determines the behavior of the specifier. Some conversion specifiers
have a modified form in which an E or O modifier character is inserted after the %
character. Some conversion specifiers have a modified form in which a width
parameter given as a positive decimal integer (shown as N below) is inserted after
the % character. Each conversion specifier causes the matched characters to be
interpreted as parts of date and time types according to the table below.

A character sequence in the format string that begins with a % but does not match
one of the conversion specifiers below is interpreted as ordinary characters.

If from_stream fails to parse everything specified by the format string, or if
insufficient information is parsed to specify a complete result, or if parsing
discloses contradictory information, is.setstate(std::ios_base::failbit) is called.

The following conversion specifiers are available:

Conversion Explanation
specifier
%% Matches a literal % character.
%n Matches one whitespace character.
%t Matches zero or one whitespace character.
Year
Parses the century as a decimal number. The width N specifies the
%C maximum number of characters to read. The default width is 2. Leading
%NC zeroes are permitted but not required.
%EC
The modified command %EC interprets the locale's alternative
representation of the century.
Parses the last two decimal digits of the year. If the century is not
otherwise specified (e.g. with %C), values in the range [69, 99] are
%y presumed to refer to the years 1969 to 1999, and values in the range
%Ny [00, 68] are presumed to refer to the years 2000 to 2068. The width N
%Ey specifies the maximum number of characters to read. The default width is
%Oy 2. Leading zeroes are permitted but not required.

The modified commands %Ey and %Oy interpret the locale's alternative
representation.
Parses the year as a decimal number. The width N specifies the maximum
%Y number of characters to read. The default width is 4. Leading zeroes are
%NY permitted but not required.
%EY
The modified command %EY interprets the locale's alternative

Month
%b
%B Parses the locale's full or abbreviated case-insensitive month name.
%h

%m specifies the maximum number of characters to read. The default width is
%Nm 2. Leading zeroes are permitted but not required.
%Om
The modified command %Om interprets the locale's alternative
representation.
Day
%d Parses the day of month as a decimal number. The width N specifies the
%Nd maximum number of characters to read. The default width is 2. Leading
%Od zeroes are permitted but not required.
%e
%Ne The modified commands %Od and %Oe interpret the locale's alternative
%Oe representation.
Day of the week
%a Parses the locale's full or abbreviated case-insensitive weekday name.
%A
%u Parses the ISO weekday as a decimal number (1-7), where Monday is 1. The
%Nu width N specifies the maximum number of characters to read. The default
width is 1. Leading zeroes are permitted but not required.
Parses the weekday as a decimal number (0-6), where Sunday is 0. The
%w width N specifies the maximum number of characters to read. The default
%Nw width is 1. Leading zeroes are permitted but not required.
%Ow
The modified command %Ow interprets the locale's alternative
representation.
ISO 8601 week-based year
In ISO 8601 weeks begin with Monday and the first week of the year must satisfy the
following requirements:

* Includes January 4
* Includes first Thursday of the year
%g Parses the last two decimal digits of the ISO 8601 week-based year. The
%Ng width N specifies the maximum number of characters to read. The default
width is 2. Leading zeroes are permitted but not required.
%G Parses the ISO 8601 week-based year as a decimal number. The width N
%NG specifies the maximum number of characters to read. The default width is
4. Leading zeroes are permitted but not required.
%V Parses the ISO 8601 week of the year as a decimal number. The width N
%NV specifies the maximum number of characters to read. The default width is
2. Leading zeroes are permitted but not required.
Week/day of the year
%j Parses the day of the year as a decimal number (January 1 is 1). The
%Nj width N specifies the maximum number of characters to read. The default
width is 3. Leading zeroes are permitted but not required.
Parses the week number of the year as a decimal number. The first Sunday
of the year is the first day of week 01. Days of the same year prior to
%U that are in week 00. The width N specifies the maximum number of
%NU characters to read. The default width is 2. Leading zeroes are permitted
%OU but not required.

The modified command %OU interprets the locale's alternative
representation.
Parses the week number of the year as a decimal number. The first Monday
of the year is the first day of week 01. Days of the same year prior to
%W that are in week 00. The width N specifies the maximum number of
%NW characters to read. The default width is 2. Leading zeroes are permitted
%OW but not required.

The modified command %OW interprets the locale's alternative
representation.
Date

%F Equivalent to "%Y-%m-%d". If the width is specified, it is only applied
%NF to the %Y.
Parses the locale's date representation.

representation.
Time of day
Parses the hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number. The width N

%r Parses the locale's 12-hour clock time.
Parses the locale's time representation.
