Second Intrinsic (function)
...........................

     Second()

Second: `REAL(KIND=1)' function.

Intrinsic groups: `unix'.

Description:

   Returns the process's runtime in seconds--the same value as the UNIX
function `etime' returns.

   On some systems, the underlying timings are represented using types
with sufficiently small limits that overflows (wraparounds) are
possible, such as 32-bit types.  Therefore, the values returned by this
intrinsic might be, or become, negative, or numerically less than
previous values, during a single run of the compiled program.
