Simply a replacement for time_t. It has been deprecated
since it is not equivalent to time_t on 64-bit platforms
with a 64-bit time_t. Unrelated to #GTimer.
Note that #GTime is defined to always be a 32-bit integer,
unlike time_t which may be 64-bit on some systems. Therefore,
#GTime will overflow in the year 2038, and you cannot use the
address of a #GTime variable as argument to the UNIX time()
function.
Instead, do the following:
|[<!-- language="C" -->
time_t ttime;
GTime gtime;
