************
parse_time()
************
Purpose
=======
parse_time(timestamp)
Converts an RFC 3164 or RFC 3339 formatted date/time string to a UNIX timestamp
(an integer value representing the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch:
1970-01-01T00:00:0Z).
If the input to the function is not a properly formatted RFC 3164 or RFC 3339
date/time string, or cannot be parsed, ``0`` is returned and ``script_error()``
will be set to error state.
.. note::
This function does not support unusual RFC 3164 dates/times that
contain year or time zone information.
.. note::
Fractional seconds (if present) in RFC 3339 date/time strings will
be discarded.
Example
=======
In the following example a timestamp is parsed into an integer.
.. code-block:: none
parse_time("Oct 5 01:10:11") # Assumes the current year (2017, in this example)
produces
.. code-block:: none
