     _\bT_\bi_\bm_\be returns the time since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970,
     measured in seconds.

     If _\bt_\bl_\bo_\bc is nonnull, the return value is also stored in the
     place to which _\bt_\bl_\bo_\bc points.

     The _\bf_\bt_\bi_\bm_\be entry fills in a structure pointed to by its argu-
     ment, as defined by <_\bs_\by_\bs/_\bt_\bi_\bm_\be_\bb._\bh>:

     /*

      */
     struct timeb
     {
          time_t   time;
          unsigned short millitm;
          short    timezone;
          short    dstflag;
     };

     The structure contains the time since the epoch in seconds,
     up to 1000 milliseconds of more-precise interval, the local
     time zone (measured in minutes of time westward from
     Greenwich), and a flag that, if nonzero, indicates that Day-
     light Saving time applies locally during the appropriate
     part of the year.
