std::mktime
From cppreference.com
| Defined in header
<ctime>
|
||
| std::time_t mktime( std::tm* time );
|
||
Converts local calendar time to a time since epoch as a time_t object. time->tm_wday and time->tm_yday are ignored. The values in time are not checked for being out of range.
A negative value of time->tm_isdst causes mktime to attempt to determine if Daylight Saving Time was in effect.
If the conversion is successful, the time object is modified. All fields of time are updated to fit their proper ranges. time->tm_wday and time->tm_yday are recalculated using information available in other fields.

[edit] Parameters
| time | - | pointer to a std::tm object specifying local calendar time to convert |
[edit] Return value
Time since epoch as a std::time_t object on success or -1 if time cannot be represented as a std::time_t object.
[edit] Example
Display the time 100 months ago
#include <iostream> #include <iomanip> #include <ctime> int main() { std::time_t t = std::time(NULL); std::tm tm = *std::localtime(&t); std::cout << "Today is " << std::put_time(&tm, "%c %Z") <<'\n'; tm.tm_mon -= 100; std::mktime(&tm); std::cout << "100 months ago was " << std::put_time(&tm, "%c %Z") << '\n'; }
Output:
Today is Wed Dec 28 09:56:10 2011 EST 100 months ago was Thu Aug 28 10:56:10 2003 EDT
