Re: [PATCH v3] ctime.3: EXAMPLES: Add example program

[Brian Inglis <Brian.Inglis@SystematicSW.ab.ca>]

AFAICS from 9899 1998 Draft to 2023, the *mktime* wording has been essentially:

"The original values of the tm_wday and tm_yday components of the structure are 
ignored, and the original values of the other components are not restricted to 
the ranges indicated above. On successful completion, the values of the tm_wday 
and tm_yday components of the structure are set appropriately,"

so the recommendation has been to do something like (pointless example):

	time_t tt = time(&tt);
	struct tm *tm = localtime(&tt);
	tm->tm_wday = tm->tm_yday = -1;
	if ((tt = mktime(tm)) == -1 && tm->tm_wday == -1 && tm->tm_yday == -1)
		error(...);
