= time =

== Syntax ==
{{int time(time_t timeptr)}}

== Arguments ==
:'''timeptr'''
::A pointer to an integer where the result is optionally stored. Usually you would set this to a NULL pointer and use the return value instead.

== Return ==
The number of seconds since January 1, 1970 12:00:00 GMT (also known as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time Unix Epoch]).

== Description ==
Returns the current time as expressed in seconds since the Unix Epoch.

== Comments ==
You can find the number of days since the Unix Epoch by dividing the answer by 86400.  (60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours = 86400 seconds in a day.)

It's possible that the first parameter of the time function can take a pointer to a data structure - the time function in C allows passing a pointer to a time_t structure/object.  However, since FilterMeister does not yet support the time_t type, the author of this documentation has assumed that the first parameter given to time must always be NULL.
