+parse_time()
+************
+
+Purpose
+=======
+
+parse_time(timestamp)
+
+Converts an RFC 3164 or RFC 3339 formatted date/time string to a UNIX timestamp
+(an integer value representing the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch:
+1970-01-01T00:00:0Z).
+
+If the input to the function is not a properly formatted RFC 3164 or RFC 3339
+date/time string, or cannot be parsed, ``0`` is returned and ``script_error()``
+will be set to error state.
+
+.. note::
+
+   This function does not support unusual RFC 3164 dates/times that
+   contain year or time zone information.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Fractional seconds (if present) in RFC 3339 date/time strings will
+   be discarded.
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+In the following example a timestamp is parsed into an integer.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   parse_time("Oct 5 01:10:11") # Assumes the current year (2017, in this example)
+
+produces
+
+.. code-block:: none
