NAME         top

       dysize - get number of days for a given year

LIBRARY         top

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <time.h>

       int dysize(int year);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
   feature_test_macros(7)):

       dysize():
           Since glibc 2.19:
               _DEFAULT_SOURCE
           glibc 2.19 and earlier:
               _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION         top

       The function returns 365 for a normal year and 366 for a leap
       year.  The calculation for leap year is based on:

           (year) %4 == 0 && ((year) %100 != 0 || (year) %400 == 0)

       The formula is defined in the macro __isleap(year) also found in
       <time.h>.
