This call is functionally equivalent to g_get_current_time() except
that the return value is often more convenient than dealing with a
#GTimeVal.
You should only use this call if you are actually interested in the real
wall-clock time. g_get_monotonic_time() is probably more useful for
measuring intervals.
Return: the number of microseconds since January 1, 1970 UTC.
Queries the system wall-clock time.
