NAME
       icetWallTime -- timer function

Synopsis
       #include <IceT.h>

       IceTDouble icetWallTime(   void	 )

Description
       Retrieves the current time, in seconds. The returned values of icetWallTime are only valid in relation to each other. That is, the time may
       or may not have anything to do with the current date or time. However, the difference of values between two calls to  icetWallTime  is  the
       elapsed	time  in  seconds  between  the  two  calls. Thus, icetWallTime is handy for determining the running time of various subprocesses.
       icetWallTime is used internally for determining the values for the state variables ICET_BUFFER_READ_TIME, ICET_BUFFER_WRITE_TIME, ICET_COL-
       LECT_TIME, ICET_COMPARE_TIME, ICET_COMPOSITE_TIME, ICET_COMPRESS_TIME, ICET_RENDER_TIME, and ICET_TOTAL_DRAW_TIME.

Return Value
       The current time, in seconds.

Errors
       None.

Warnings
       None.

Bugs
       None known.
