   Returns the number of seconds since the last midnight to the given `time`.  If no `time` is given, assumes current time.
 
+'''`timeutils.to_secs (timestring)`'''
+  Converts a string of the form `"hh:mm:ss am|pm"` to the number of seconds.  Together with `dayseconds()` it lets you write code of the form:
+{{{
+if timeutils.dayseconds() < timeutils.to_secs ("09:30 pm") then
+    return false
+end
+}}}

 '''`timeutils.localtoUTC ([time] [, timezone])`'''
   Returns the 'date table' (same as returned by `os.date('*t', time)`) of the UTC time corresponding to the given `time`.  If no `time` is given, assumes current time.  If no `timezone` is given, assumes Vera's configured timezone.
