c++ time_t

type

struct tm

<ctime>

Time structure

Structure containing a calendar date and time broken down into its components.

The structure contains nine members of type  int, which are (in any order):

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

int tm_sec; int tm_min; int tm_hour; int tm_mday; int tm_mon; int tm_year; int tm_wday; int tm_yday; int tm_isdst;

而直接存储年月日的是一个结构：
struct tm
{
    int tm_sec;  /*秒，正常范围0-59， 但允许至61*/
    int tm_min;  /*分钟，0-59*/
    int tm_hour; /*小时， 0-23*/
    int tm_mday; /*日，即一个月 中的第几天，1-31*/
    int tm_mon;  /*月， 从一月算起，0-11*/  1+p->tm_mon;
    int tm_year;  /*年， 从1900至今已经多少年*/ 1900＋ p->tm_year;
    int tm_wday; /*星期，一周中的第几天， 从星期日算起，0-6*/
    int tm_yday; /*从今年1月1日到目前的天数，范围0-365*/
    int tm_isdst; /*日光节约时间的旗标*/
};

需要特别注意的是，年份是从1900年起至今多少年，而不是直接存储如2011年，月份从0开始的，0表示一月，星期也是从0开始的， 0表示星期日，1表示星期一。

The meaning of each is:

Member	Meaning	Range
tm_sec	seconds after the minute	0-61*
tm_min	minutes after the hour	0-59
tm_hour	hours since midnight	0-23
tm_mday	day of the month	1-31
tm_mon	months since January	0-11: real month = tm_mon + 1
tm_year	years since 1900	1900+tm_year
tm_wday	days since Sunday	0-6
tm_yday	days since January 1	0-365
tm_isdst	Daylight Saving Time flag

The  Daylight Saving Time flag ( tm_isdst) is greater than zero if Daylight Saving Time is in effect, zero if Daylight Saving Time is not in effect, and less than zero if the information is not available.

*  tm_sec is generally 0-59. Extra range to accommodate for leap seconds in certain systems.
