 * Name:  difftime
 *
 * Description:
 *   The difftime() function returns the number of seconds elapsed
 *   between time time1 and time time0, represented as a double or a float.
 *   Float is used if the platform does not support double. However, when
 *   using a float, some precision may be lost for big differences.
 *
