**CIGAL Reference Manual, Chapter 6 (RealTime): r_gtime**
===== r_gtime -- Store the current clock counter value =====
**usage:     r_gtime opflg eflag ltime    DataAddr**

R_GTIME is a REALTIME operator.  It reads the current setting of the
clock counter and stores it in the DATAADDR variable.  The clock is
read as a long (32 bit) unsigned integer in units of 20 microseconds.
The time is relative to the beginning of the REALTIME command; this
counter value is unaffected by operations such as R_RESET and R_REPEAT
that can be used to establish local zero times for relative  counting
purposes.
