dateorder do_date_order() const;
Returns: An enumeration value indicating the preferred order of components for those date formats that are composed of day, month, and year.254
Returns no_order if the date format specified by 'x' contains other variable components (e.g., Julian day, week number, week day).
iter_type do_get_time(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& str, ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Effects: Reads characters starting at s until it has extracted those tm members, and remaining format characters, used by time_put<>​::​put to produce the format specified by "%H:%M:%S", or until it encounters an error or end of sequence.
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately beyond the last character recognized as possibly part of a valid time.
iter_type do_get_date(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& str, ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Effects: Reads characters starting at s until it has extracted those tm members and remaining format characters used by time_put<>​::​put to produce one of the following formats, or until it encounters an error.
The format depends on the value returned by date_order() as shown in Table 115.

ymd

ydm
"%y%d%m"
An implementation may also accept additional implementation-defined formats.
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately beyond the last character recognized as possibly part of a valid date.
iter_type do_get_weekday(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& str, ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const; iter_type do_get_monthname(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& str, ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Effects: Reads characters starting at s until it has extracted the (perhaps abbreviated) name of a weekday or month.
If it finds an abbreviation that is followed by characters that can match a full name, it continues reading until it matches the full name or fails.
It sets the appropriate tm member accordingly.
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately beyond the last character recognized as part of a valid name.
iter_type do_get_year(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& str, ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Effects: Reads characters starting at s until it has extracted an unambiguous year identifier.
It is implementation-defined whether two-digit year numbers are accepted, and (if so) what century they are assumed to lie in.
Sets the t->tm_year member accordingly.
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately beyond the last character recognized as part of a valid year identifier.
iter_type do_get(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& f, ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t, char format, char modifier) const;
Preconditions: t points to an object.
Effects: The function starts by evaluating err = ios_base​::​goodbit.
It then reads characters starting at s until it encounters an error, or until it has extracted and assigned those tm members, and any remaining format characters, corresponding to a conversion specification appropriate for the POSIX function strptime, formed by concatenating '%', the modifier character, when non-NUL, and the format character.
When the concatenation fails to yield a complete valid directive the function leaves the object pointed to by t unchanged and evaluates err |= ios_base​::​failbit.
When s == end evaluates to true after reading a character the function evaluates err |= ios_base​::​eofbit.
For complex conversion specifications such as %c, %x, or %X, or conversion specifications that involve the optional modifiers E or O, when the function is unable to unambiguously determine some or all tm members from the input sequence [s, end), it evaluates err |= ios_base​::​eofbit.
In such cases the values of those tm members are unspecified and may be outside their valid range.
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately beyond the last character recognized as possibly part of a valid input sequence for the given format and modifier.
Remarks: It is unspecified whether multiple calls to do_get() with the address of the same tm object will update the current contents of the object or simply overwrite its members.
Portable programs should zero out the object before invoking the function.

This function is intended as a convenience only, for common formats, and can return no_order in valid locales.
