Thanks for your report.

I think there is a risk of confusion for tm_mon (month) at least.
We could just copy the struct from the .h and have the range included ?

FTR, time.h says:
        struct tm
        {
          int tm_sec;                   /* Seconds.     [0-60] (1 leap second) 
*/
          int tm_min;                   /* Minutes.     [0-59] */
          int tm_hour;                  /* Hours.       [0-23] */
          int tm_mday;                  /* Day.         [1-31] */
          int tm_mon;                   /* Month.       [0-11] */
          int tm_year;                  /* Year - 1900.  */
          int tm_wday;                  /* Day of week. [0-6] */
          int tm_yday;                  /* Days in year.[0-365] */
          int tm_isdst;                 /* DST.         [-1/0/1]*/
