wrapping returns time_t. I see that this maps to CTime in Foreign.C.Types, but I can't figure out how to convert it to an Int (or any other useful Haskell type, for that matter) for the life of me. I've poured over the standard library docs, but to no avail. Could someone give me a hint?
It's an instance of Enum, so use fromEnum to create an Int. (Don't feel too bad, it took me an embarrasingly long amount of time to figure that out as well; before that I used read . show :)
'fromInteger . round' is probably a better idea if you only need second accuracy, there is no guarentee that a time_t will fit in an Int, if you need subsecond accurancy, then realToFrac will convert it to a Float or Double, but I doubt any system that ghc supports provides such accuracy via CTime.
