namespace std::chrono {
  template<class Duration> class time_of_day;

  template<> class time_of_day<hours>;

  template<> class time_of_day<seconds>;
  template<class Rep, class Period> class time_of_day<duration<Rep, Period>>;

#
The time_­of_­day class template splits a duration representing the time elapsed since midnight into a “broken down” time of day such as hours:minutes:seconds.
The Duration template parameter dictates the precision to which the time is broken down.
[ Note
:
This can vary from a coarse precision of hours to a very fine precision of nanoseconds.

A time_­of_­day object also tracks whether it should be output as a 12-hour time format or a 24-hour time format.

Four specializations are provided to handle four different levels of precision.

Each specialization of time_­of_­day is a trivially copyable and standard-layout class type.
