*Effects*: Equivalent to:return os << format(os.getloc(), *STATICALLY-WIDEN*<charT>("{:L%F %T}"), t);

*Effects*: Attempts to parse the input stream is into the file_time tp using
the format flags given in the NTCTS fmt as specified in [[time.parse]](time.parse "30.13 Parsing")[.](#2.sentence-1)

If the parse fails to decode a valid date,is.setstate(ios_base​::​failbit) is called andtp is not modified[.](#2.sentence-2)

If %Z is used and successfully parsed,
that value will be assigned to *abbrev if abbrev is non-null[.](#2.sentence-3)

If %z (or a modified variant) is used and successfully parsed,
that value will be assigned to *offset if offset is non-null[.](#2.sentence-4)

Additionally, the parsed offset will be subtracted from
the successfully parsed timestamp prior to assigning that difference to tp[.](#2.sentence-5)
