OK. Could you provide the url for doing it.

I've made an issue request for this on the Nim Cookbook project 

@jzakiya; open a feature request ticket against the nim github repo?

The Unix `time` command

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_%28Unix%29](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_%28Unix%29)

[https://www.lifewire.com/command-return-time-command-4054237](https://www.lifewire.com/command-return-time-command-4054237)

returns three (3) variants: `real`, `usr`, `sys`. Nim's `cpuTime()` corresponds 
to `usr` (total cpu time), whereas `epochTime()` corresponds to `real` (clock 
time).

I would like to recommend that `realTime()` be included in Nim's `time` module 
to make it shadow that component of the Unix `time` command, which will make 
it's function and use case much clearer to users. This may only need to create 
`realTime()` as an alias of `epochTime()`.

Yes, that did it.

This is a good use case example to distinguish in `time` docs between the use 
of `cpuTime()` and `epochTime()`. The given example for `cpuTime()` assumes 
single threaded use and not the effect of multi processor/threads use.

Try _epochTime()_.
