Epoch Time convertion

[Shijin Bose]

Hi,

     I have a time in epoch format (UTC) i want to convert that to local time zone (like "America/Los_Angeles"). is it possible to directly convert this using "cctz::convert()" ?

    How can i achieve this?

   Thanks & Regards,

Can you be more explicit as to the types/formats of your input and output.  That is, what do you mean by "a time in epoch format (UTC)"?

Thanks.

Hi Bradly,

     Epoch time means the UTC time is converted to seconds (like epoch = 1491993773 (long int) corresponding GMT time = 2017:04:12 10:42:53). so i want to convert this seconds time to human readable time. ( I mean  input given as seconds and output as normal human readable time)

Thanks & Regards,

OK.  Then consider something like ...

  cctz::format("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Ez",

               std::chrono::system_clock::from_time_t(1491993773),

               cctz::local_time_zone());

which produces "2017-04-12 06:42:53 -04:00" for me.
