difftime - calculate time difference
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#include <time.h>
double difftime(time_t time1, time_t time0);
The difftime() function returns the number of
seconds elapsed between time time1 and time time0,
represented as a double. Each time is a count of seconds.
difftime(b, a) acts like (b-a) except that the
result does not overflow and is rounded to double.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
