+ * (GMT is also known as Coordinated Universal Time, UTC.)
+ * The units of time are in microseconds. Negative times are allowed
+ * to represent times prior to the January 1970 epoch. Such values are
+ * intended to be exported to other systems or converted to human
+ * readable form.
+ *
+ * Notes on porting: PRTime corresponds to time_t in ANSI C. NSPR 1.0
