The Time Library contains functions and type definitions for time calculations in the UNIX time format which counts the 

number of seconds since the “epoch”. This is very convenient for programs that work with time intervals: the difference 

between two UNIX time values is a real-time difference measured in seconds.

What is the epoch?

Originally it was defined as the beginning of 1970 GMT. (January 1, 1970 Julian day) GMT, Greenwich Mean Time, is 

a traditional term for the time zone in England.

The TimeStruct type is a structure type suitable for time and date storage.
