**CIGAL Reference Manual, Chapter 4 (Variables): secs**
===== Secs -- Integer pseudo-variable with seconds portion of current time =====
**usage: dest = secs**

SECS is a number variable containing the seconds portion of the current time. This variable
is read-only.  Its value is set the moment it is read.  SECS is set to the nearest hundredth
of a second, with an accuracy dependent on the resolution of your computer's clock hardware.

Example:
      At 30.25 seconds after 5:25 pm on October 13th, 1992, the CIGAL command:
           ftype '%5/2f/%2d  %5:2f:%5.2f\n' day year-1900 hour secs
      would print as:
           10/13/92  17:25:30.25
