A time after the epoch has a positive value, and a +time before the epoch has a negative value. + +In NSPR, we use the more familiar term Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in +place of UTC. Although UTC and GMT are not exactly the same in their +precise definitions, they can generally be treated as if they were. + +.. note:: + + **Note:** Keep in mind that while :ref:`PRTime` stores times in + microseconds since epoch, JavaScript date objects store times in + milliseconds since epoch. |
