I guess that solution depends upon your definition of today. Here is
the solution in sh, translation to c is left to the reader:

/usr/5bin/touch `date '+%m%d00'` /tmp/midnight
find . -type f ! -newer /tmp/midnight -exec /bin/rm -f {} \;

This relies upon a system V touch being available and is in fact not
quite correct as files created at midnight will also be deleted.
