* Function: time
*
* Description:
* Get the current calendar time as a time_t object. The function returns
* this value, and if the argument is not a null pointer, the value is also
* set to the object pointed by tloc.
*
* Note that this function is just a thin wrapper around gettimeofday()
* and is provided for compatibility. gettimeofday() is the preffered way
* to obtain system time.
*
* Parameters:
* Pointer to an object of type time_t, where the time value is stored.
* Alternativelly, this parameter can be a null pointer, in which case the
* parameter is not used, but a time_t object is still returned by the
* function.
*
* Return Value:
* The current calendar time as a time_t object. If the argument is not
* a null pointer, the return value is the same as the one stored in the
* location pointed by the argument.
*
* If the function could not retrieve the calendar time, it returns a -1
* value.
