std::chrono::locate_zone

const std::chrono::time_zone* locate_zone( std::string_view tz_name );

Convenience function for locating a time zone in the time zone database. Equivalent to std::chrono::get_tzdb().locate_zone(tz_name).

Parameters

Exceptions

std::runtime_error if the specified time zone cannot be found, or if this is the first reference to the time zone database and the time zone database cannot be initialized.

Notes

A call to this function that is the first reference to the time zone database will cause it to be initialized.

Example

#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    try
    {
        for (const auto zone : {"Atlantic/Bermuda", "Alcatraz"})
            std::cout << std::chrono::locate_zone(zone)->name() << '\n';
    }
    catch(const std::runtime_error& ex)
    {
        std::cout << ex.what() << '\n';
    }
}
