Correct  me if I am wrong, but as far as I know, UTC just means "Universal
Coordinated  Time", which is just a specific timezone and is equivalent to
GMT ("Greenwich Mean Time").

so you can measure the time with whichever accuracy you would like.

time_t  type  stores  the  time,  as  you  have  pointed out correctly, in
seconds.

BTW, UTC is is accurate to approximately a nanosecond.
