[edit] Member objects

int tm_sec
seconds after the minute – [0, 61] (until C99)[0, 60] (since C99)[note 1]
(public member object)
int tm_min
minutes after the hour – [0, 59]
(public member object)
int tm_hour
hours since midnight – [0, 23]
(public member object)
int tm_mday
day of the month – [1, 31]
(public member object)
int tm_mon
months since January – [0, 11]
(public member object)
int tm_year
years since 1900
(public member object)
int tm_wday
days since Sunday – [0, 6]
(public member object)
int tm_yday
days since January 1 – [0, 365]

[edit] Notes

The Standard mandates only the presence of the aforementioned members in either order. The implementations usually add more data-members to this structure.

  1. Range allows for a positive leap second. Two leap seconds in the same minute are not allowed (the C89 range 0..61 was a defect)

[edit] Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    struct tm start = {.tm_year=2022-1900, .tm_mday=1};
    mktime(&start);
    printf("%s", asctime(&start));
}

Output:

Sat Jan  1 00:00:00 2022
