format flags

second millisecond microsecond nanosecond

Format Flags

• %f
  
  Fractional seconds are always used, even when their value is zero
  
  "13:15:16.000000"

• %F *
  
  Fractional seconds are used only when their value is not zero.
  
  "13:15:16"
  
  "05:04:03.001234"

to string

The Boost.Date_Time library provides the following ptime to std::string conversions within the boost::posix_time namespace:

• std::string to_simple_string(ptime) returns a string in the form of YYYY-mmm-DD HH:MM:SS.fffffffff format where mmm is the three character month name.
• std::string to_iso_string(ptime) returns a string in the form of YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS,fffffffff where T is the date-time separator.
• std::string to_iso_extended_string(ptime) returns a string in the form of YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS,fffffffff where T is the date-time separator.
