Time Intrinsic (UNIX)
.....................

     Time()

Time: `INTEGER(KIND=1)' function.

Intrinsic groups: `unix'.

Description:

   Returns the current time encoded as an integer (in the manner of the
UNIX function `time(3)').  This value is suitable for passing to
`CTIME', `GMTIME', and `LTIME'.

   This intrinsic is not fully portable, such as to systems with 32-bit
`INTEGER' types but supporting times wider than 32 bits.  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.

   Note: Time8 Intrinsic, for information on a similar intrinsic that
might be portable to more GNU Fortran implementations, though to fewer
Fortran compilers.

   For information on other intrinsics with the same name: Note: Time
Intrinsic (VXT).
