I see you're in mktime() paradise.
From the man mktime:
struct tm {
int tm_sec; /* seconds */
int tm_min; /* minutes */
int tm_hour; /* hours */
int tm_mday; /* day of the month */
int tm_mon; /* month */
int tm_year; /* year */
int tm_wday; /* day of the week */
int tm_yday; /* day in the year */
int tm_isdst; /* daylight saving time */
};
tm_yday
The number of days since January 1, in the range 0 to 365.
Well, I couldn't get mktime() to work directly, but I still used tm_yday.
