The TIME command returns the current server time as a two items lists: a Unix timestamp and the amount of microseconds already elapsed in the current second. Basically the interface is very similar to the one of the gettimeofday system call.

Examples

redis> TIME
1) "1784722081"
2) "827551"
redis> TIME
1) "1784722081"
2) "828843"
