<dt><em>Description</em>:</dt>
<dd><p>Returns the current time encoded as an integer (in the manner of the
function <code>time(3)</code> in the C standard library). This value is
suitable for passing to <code>CTIME</code>, <code>GMTIME</code>, and <code>LTIME</code>.
</p>
<p><em>Warning:</em> this intrinsic does not increase the range of the timing
values over that returned by <code>time(3)</code>. On a system with a 32-bit
<code>time(3)</code>, <code>TIME8</code> will return a 32-bit value, even though
it is converted to a 64-bit <code>INTEGER(8)</code> value. That means
overflows of the 32-bit value can still occur. 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.
