How do you print a C++11 time_point?

Question

I\'ve created a time point, but I have been struggling to print it to the terminal.

#include 
#include 

int main(){

    //set

Yet another snippet of code. Plus side is that it is fairly standalone and supports microsecond text representation.

std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& stream, const std::chrono::system_clock::time_point& point)
{
    auto time = std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(point);
    std::tm* tm = std::localtime(&time);
    char buffer[26];
    std::strftime(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.", tm);
    stream << buffer;
    auto duration = point.time_since_epoch();
    auto seconds = std::chrono::duration_cast(duration);
    auto remaining = std::chrono::duration_cast(duration - seconds);
    // remove microsecond cast line if you would like a higher resolution sub second time representation, then just stream remaining.count()
    auto micro = std::chrono::duration_cast(remaining);
    return stream << micro.count();
}
