NAME
       time - time in seconds since epoch

SYNOPSIS
       #include <u.h>
       #include <libc.h>

       long time(long *tp)

       /* Alef only */

       int time();

DESCRIPTION
       Time returns the number of seconds since the epoch 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970.  If tp is not zero then *tp is also set to the answer.

       This function works by reading /dev/time, opening that file when time is first called.

Alef
       In Alef, time does not take an argument.
