The returned value is a number, whose meaning depends on your system. In POSIX, Windows, and some other systems, this number counts the number of seconds since some given start time (the "epoch": 1 January 1970, 00:00:00). In other systems, the meaning is not specified, and the number returned by time can be used only as an argument to date and difftime
