/*unspecified*/ put_time ( const std:: tm * tmb, const CharT * fmt ) ;
(since C++11)

When used in an expression out << put_time ( tmb, fmt ) , converts the date and time information from a given calendar time tmb to a character string according to format string fmt , as if by calling std::strftime , std::wcsftime , or analog (depending on CharT ), according to the std::time_put facet of the locale currently imbued in the output stream out .

Parameters

tmb - pointer to the calendar time structure as obtained from std::localtime or std::gmtime
fmt - pointer to a null-terminated CharT string specifying the format of conversion

Format string

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
specifier 		Explanation Used fields
% writes literal % . The full conversion specification must be %% .

(C++11) 		writes newline character
t
(C++11) 		writes horizontal tab character

Return value

An object of unspecified type such that

  • if out is an object of type std:: basic_ostream < CharT, Traits > , the expression out << put_time ( tmb, fmt )
    • has type std:: basic_ostream < CharT, Traits > &
    • has value out
    • behaves as if it called f ( out, tmb, fmt )

where the function f is defined as: 

template<class CharT, class Traits>
void f(std::basic_ios<CharT, Traits>& str, const std::tm* tmb, const CharT* fmt)
{
    using Iter = std::ostreambuf_iterator<CharT, Traits>;
    using TimePut = std::time_put<CharT, Iter>;
 
    const TimePut& tp = std::use_facet<TimePut>(str.getloc());
    const Iter end = tp.put(Iter(str.rdbuf()), str, str.fill(), tmb,
        fmt, fmt + Traits::length(fmt));
 
    if (end.failed())
        str.setstate(std::ios_base::badbit);
}

Example

Run this code 
#include <ctime>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::time_t t = std::time(nullptr);
    std::tm tm = *std::localtime(&t);
 
    std::cout.imbue(std::locale("ru_RU.utf8"));
    std::cout << "ru_RU: " << std::put_time(&tm, "%c %Z") << '\n';
 
    std::cout.imbue(std::locale("ja_JP.utf8"));
    std::cout << "ja_JP: " << std::put_time(&tm, "%c %Z") << '\n';
}

Possible output: 

ru_RU: Ср. 28 дек. 2011 10:21:16 EST
