+This module implements functions for converting between different time formats
+and string representations of time.
+
+Functions:
+    getSeconds: Returns the current time in seconds since the epoch.
+    extractSeconds: Extracts seconds from a string representation.
+    getHuman: Returns the current time in human-readable format.
+    extractHuman: Extracts a human-readable time string into seconds since the epoch.
+    getISO8601_UTC: Returns the current time in ISO 8601 UTC format.
+    extractISO8601_UTC: Extracts ISO 8601 UTC time string into seconds since the epoch.
+    getISO8601_Local: Returns the current time in ISO 8601 local time format.
+    extractISO8601_Local: Extracts ISO 8601 local time string into seconds since the epoch.
+    getRFC2822_UTC: Returns the current time in RFC 2822 UTC format.
+    extractRFC2822_UTC: Extracts RFC 2822 UTC time string into seconds since the epoch.
+    getRFC2822_Local: Returns the current time in RFC 2822 local time format.
+    extractRFC2822_Local: Extracts RFC 2822 local time string into seconds since the epoch.
+    get_time_in_format: Returns the current time formatted according to the specified format.
+    getTZval: Internal function that returns the timezone offset in seconds.
