+ Objects of type `system_clock` represent wall clock time from the
23
+ system-wide realtime clock. Objects of type `sys_time<Duration>` measure
24
+ time since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC excluding leap seconds. This measure
25
+ is commonly referred to as *Unix time*. This measure facilitates an
26
+ efficient mapping between `sys_time` and calendar types [[time.cal]].

28
+ [*Example 1*:
29
+ `sys_seconds{sys_days{1970y/January/1}}.time_since_epoch()` is `0s`.
30
+ `sys_seconds{sys_days{2000y/January/1}}.time_since_epoch()` is
31
+ `946'684'800s`, which is `10'957 * 86'400s`.
