## 25.4. Time [sec_25-1-4]

Default Time Zone

Platform Dependent: No platform supports this currently
  The variable `CUSTOM:*DEFAULT-TIME-ZONE*` contains the default time zone used by `ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME` and `DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME`. It is initially set to -1 (which means 1 hour east of Greenwich, i.e., Mid European Time).

The time zone in a decoded time does not necessarily have be an `INTEGER`, but (as `FLOAT` or `RATIONAL` number) it should be a multiple of `1/3600`.

Table 25.7. Time granularity

platform | UNIX | Win32
--- | --- | ---
`INTERNAL-TIME-UNITS-PER-SECOND` | 1,000,000 | 10,000,000

`GET-INTERNAL-RUN-TIME` returns the amount of run time consumed by the current CLISP process since its startup.
