+.SH NAME
+mktime
+\(em convert broken-down time into time since the Epoch
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <time.h>
+.P
+time_t mktime(struct tm *\fItimeptr\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+The
+\fImktime\fR()
+function shall convert the broken-down time, expressed as local time,
+in the structure pointed to by
+.IR timeptr ,
+into a time since the Epoch value with the same encoding as that of the
+values returned by
+\fItime\fR().
+The original values of the
+.IR tm_wday
+and
+.IR tm_yday
+components of the structure shall be ignored, and the original values
+of the other components shall not be restricted to the ranges
+described in
+.IR <time.h> .
+.P
+A positive or 0 value for
+.IR tm_isdst
+shall cause
+\fImktime\fR()
+to presume initially that Daylight Savings Time, respectively, is or is
+not in effect for the specified time. A negative value for
+.IR tm_isdst
+shall cause
+\fImktime\fR()
+to attempt to determine whether Daylight Savings Time is in effect for
+the specified time.
+.P
+Local timezone information shall be set as though
+\fImktime\fR()
+called
+\fItzset\fR().
+.P
+The relationship between the
+.BR tm
+structure (defined in the
+.IR <time.h>
+header) and the time in seconds since the Epoch is that the result
+shall be as specified in the expression given in the definition of
+seconds since the Epoch (see the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Section 4.16" ", " "Seconds Since the Epoch")
+corrected for timezone and any seasonal time adjustments, where the
+names other than
+.IR tm_yday
+in the structure and in the expression correspond, and the
+.IR tm_yday
+value used in the expression is the day of the year from 0 to 365
+inclusive, calculated from the other
+.BR tm
+structure members specified in
+.IR <time.h>
+(excluding
+.IR tm_wday ).
+.P
+Upon successful completion, the values of the
+.IR tm_wday
+and
+.IR tm_yday
+components of the structure shall be set appropriately, and the other
+components shall be set to represent the specified time since the Epoch,
+but with their values forced to the ranges indicated in the
+.IR <time.h>
+entry; the final value of
+.IR tm_mday
+shall not be set until
+.IR tm_mon
+and
+.IR tm_year
+are determined.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+The
+\fImktime\fR()
+function shall return the specified time since the Epoch encoded as
+a value of type
+.BR time_t .
+If the time since the Epoch cannot be represented, the function shall
+return the value (\fBtime_t\fP)\-1
+and set
+.IR errno
+to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fImktime\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EOVERFLOW
+The result cannot be represented.
+.LP
