.SH Description

.PP
Retrieves the current time, in seconds. The returned values of
\fBicetWallTime\fP
are only valid in relation to each other. That is,
the time may or may not have anything to do with the current date or
time. However, the difference of values between two calls to
\fBicetWallTime\fP
is the elapsed time in seconds between the two
calls. Thus, \fBicetWallTime\fP
is handy for determining the running
time of various subprocesses. \fBicetWallTime\fP
is used internally for
determining the values for the state variables
\fBICET_BUFFER_READ_TIME\fP,
\fBICET_BUFFER_WRITE_TIME\fP,
\fBICET_COLLECT_TIME\fP,
\fBICET_COMPARE_TIME\fP,
\fBICET_COMPOSITE_TIME\fP,
\fBICET_COMPRESS_TIME\fP,
\fBICET_INTERLACE_TIME\fP,
\fBICET_RENDER_TIME\fP,
and
\fBICET_TOTAL_DRAW_TIME\fP\&.
