Time

These procedures are in structures posix-time and posix.

A time record contains an integer that represents time as the number of second since the Unix epoch (00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970). Make-time and current-time return times, with make-time's using its argument while current-time's has the current time. Time? is a predicate that recognizes times and time-seconds returns the number of seconds time represents. These perform various comparison operations on the times. Time->string returns a string representation of time in the following form.
"Wed Jun 30 21:49:08 1993
"
