.SH DESCRIPTION
These routines perform time conversions relative to the
epoch 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970.
Note the range of values for each member of the
.B Tm
adt.
The conventions are the same as those of C's
.IR ctime .
.PP
.B Text
converts a time structure referenced by
.I tm
from local or GMT time to a string in the format:
.IP
.BR "Sat Jan 1 13:00:00 GMT 2000" .
.PP
.B Filet
converts the file access or modification time
.I t
from seconds since the epoch to local time as a string
in the format:
.IP
.B "Jan 1 13:00"
.PP
if the file is less than 6 months old or
.IP
.B "Jan 1 2000"
.PP
if the file is older than 6 months, compared to the time
.IR now .
.PP
.B Gmt
converts seconds since the epoch, received in
.IR tim ,
to a time structure in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
.PP
.B Local
converts seconds since the epoch, received in
.IR tim ,
to a time structure in local time.
.PP
.B Now
returns the time in seconds since the epoch, which
it obtains by reading
.B /dev/time
(see
.IR cons (3))
to get the time in microseconds since the epoch.
.PP
.B Time
converts seconds since the epoch
to the local time as a string in the format
.BR "Fri May 19 17:01:36 BST 2000" .
.PP
.B Tm2epoch
converts a time structure referenced by
.I tm
from local or GMT time to seconds since the epoch.

.SH SEE ALSO
.IR cons (3),
.IR sys-millisec (2)
.SH BUGS
The sign bit of a Limbo integer holding a time will turn on 68 years from the
epoch.
