+.Sh NAME
+.Nm time_second ,
+.Nm time_uptime ,
+.Nm time_uptime32
+.Nd system time variables
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/time.h
+.Vt extern const time_t time_second;
+.Vt extern const time_t time_uptime;
+.Vt extern const uint32_t time_uptime32;
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Va time_second
+variable is the system's
+.Dq wall clock ,
+giving the number of seconds since midnight (0 hour),
+January 1, 1970, (proleptic) UTC,
+minus the number of leap seconds.
+It is set at boot by
+.Xr inittodr 9 ,
+and is updated periodically via
+.Xr timecounter 9
+framework, and also updated by the
+.Xr settimeofday 2
+system call.
+.Pp
+The
+.Va time_uptime
+variable is a monotonically increasing system clock.
+It is set at boot, and is updated periodically.
+(It is not updated by
+.Xr settimeofday 2 . )
+.Pp
+The
+.Va time_uptime32
+variable is the low-order 32 bits of
+.Va time_uptime ,
+which is cheaper to read on 32-bit platforms.
+.Pp
+You must only read the variables
+.Va time_second ,
+.Va time_uptime ,
+and
+.Va time_uptime32 ;
+you may not write to them or take their addresses.
+They may be implemented as macros.
+.Pp
+The
+.Xr bintime 9 ,
+.Xr getbintime 9 ,
+.Xr microtime 9 ,
+.Xr getmicrotime 9 ,
+.Xr nanotime 9 ,
+and
+.Xr getnanotime 9
+functions can be used to get the current time more accurately and in an
+atomic manner.
+.Pp
+Similarly, the
+.Xr binuptime 9 ,
+.Xr getbinuptime 9 ,
+.Xr microuptime 9 ,
+.Xr getmicrouptime 9 ,
+.Xr nanouptime 9 ,
+and
+.Xr getnanouptime 9
+functions can be used to get the time elapsed since boot more accurately
+and in an atomic manner.
