Declaration:
time_t mktime(struct tm *timeptr);
Converts the structure pointed to by timeptr into a
time_t value according to the local time zone. The
values in the structure are not limited to their constraints. If
they exceed their bounds, then they are adjusted accordingly so
that they fit within their bounds. The original values of
tm_wday (day of the week) and tm_yday
(day of the year) are ignored, but are set correctly after the
other values have been constrained. tm_mday
(day of the month) is not corrected until after tm_mon
and tm_year are corrected.
After adjustment the structure still represents the same
time.
The encoded time_t value is returned.
If the calendar time cannot be represented, then -1 is returned.
Example:
#include<time.h>
#include<stdio.h>
/* find out what day of the week is January 1, 2001
(first day of the 21st century) */
int main(void)
{
struct tm time_struct;
char days[7][4]={"Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"};
time_struct.tm_year=2001-1900;
time_struct.tm_mon=0;
time_struct.tm_mday=1;
time_struct.tm_sec=0;
time_struct.tm_min=0;
time_struct.tm_hour=0;
time_struct.tm_isdst=-1;
if(mktime(&time_struct)==-1)
{
printf("Error getting time.\n");
exit(0);
}
printf("January 1, 2001 is a %s.\n",days[time_struct.tm_wday]);
return 0;
}
