time() is the basic. It gives you the number of seconds since
Jan 1, 1970, midnight UTC.

Mostly, that isn’t what you want. So, you take that value and
pass it to one of the other functions that convert it to something
more useful: localtime(), gmtime(), asctime(), strftime(), etc.

Check the docs for details, depending on exactly what you want.
