How to print the number of seconds since unix epoch in solaris shell

Question

Is there a way to use unix date to print the number of seconds since epoch?

I'm open to using other standard shell commands if there is a way

(I'm using Solaris, so there isn't date "+"%s")

Thanks

Well, since this is a programming site, I would just compile something like:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int main (void) {
    printf ("%d\n",time(0));
    return 0;
}
