  Convert a time expressed in seconds since the epoch to a \class{struct_time}
  in UTC in which the dst flag is always zero.  If \var{secs} is not
! provided, the current time as returned by \function{time()} is used.
! Fractions of a second are ignored.  See above for a description of the
! \class{struct_time} object.

  \begin{funcdesc}{localtime}{\optional{secs}}
! Like \function{gmtime()} but converts to local time.  The dst flag is
! set to \code{1} when DST applies to the given time.
