So you'll need to find a tie in seconds that represents midnight of some day. Then find the difference from that time to "now". Do a UNIX "man mktime". It describes several routines that manipulate a "tm" structure. Basically, you convert the current expire time to a tm struct, set the day to what you want, set the hour, minute, and second to maximum, and convert back to a time_t.
