• bdlt::TimeZoneFormatter

Description

This component implements a formatter for time zone information. Output can be done with the 'z' specifier, which outputs a 2-digit hour and a 2-digit minute, sometimes but not always separated by a ':'.

This formatter interprets the following modifiers:

• 'Z' - if the offset is zero, output the time zone as 'Z', otherwise output it normally.
• ':' (colon) - always print a colon between hours and minutes
• '_' (underscore) - never print a colon between hours and minutes Note that it is an error for both ':' and '_' to be specified at the same time.

This formatter interprets only the following format specifier:

• 'z' - output the time zone in default format (subject to any applicable modifiers).
