now([ timer_mode])

Returns a timestamp of the current time from the system clock. The timer_mode may have the following values:

0 Time at previously finished reload (not currently ongoing reload)
1 Time at function call
2 Time when the document was opened 

Default timer_mode is 1. The timer_mode = 1 should be used with caution, since it polls the operating system every second and hence could slow down the system.

[alexandros17]

the timestamp of the exact moment when you call the function now

if you use now(0) return the timestamp of the last reload

if you use 2 return the timestamp of the opening of the document
