    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;n</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Report the date as the number of seconds since the epoch, 00:00:00
    GMT, January 1, 1970. 
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    The conversion from Greenwich Mean Time to local time depends
    on the <tt><font size=+1>$timezone</font></tt> environment variable; see <a href="../man3/ctime.html"><i>ctime</i>(3)</a>. 
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    If the optional argument <i>seconds</i> is present, it is used as the
    time to convert rather than the real time.<br>
