the commands
strftime and
gettime instead.
getUtime [[UNIX_time|"now"] format]
- UNIX_time gives the time to be converted in time_t
convention. If "e;now"e; is supplied, the current
time is used.
- The final optional argument format gives the output format
in strftime()-like syntax. It defaults to
"e;%H:%M:%S"e; if the first argument is given.
If no argument is given, the current time in time_t convention
is returned.
