Returns the current date and time as a time value.
All invocation of this function in a single outermost XQuery or XPATH expression will report the same time.
The following example query, invokes the current-time function a single time:
<current>{xf:current-time()}</current>
If the current date is November 11, 2002 and the current time is 4:23, The preceding query generates the following result:
<current>04:23:14.9030000</current>
The following example query, invokes the current-time function twice:
<current> <first>{xf:current-time()}</first> <second>{xf:current-time()}</second> </current>
If the current date is November 11, 2002 and the current time is 4:23, The preceding query generates the following result:
<current> <first>04:23:34.5430000</first> <second>04:23:34.5430000</second> </current>
Note: The same exact time (even seconds) is returned for both invocations of the function.
