  the epoch, in UTC.  Note that even though the time is always returned
  as a floating point number, not all systems provide time with a better
! precision than 1 second.  While this function normally returns
! non-decreasing values, it can return a lower value than a previous
! call if the system clock has been set back between the two calls.
