<para>When parsing, systemd will also accept relative
time specifications. A time span (see above) that is
prefixed with <literal>+</literal> is evaluated to the
current time plus the specified
time span. Correspondingly, a time span that is prefixed
current time plus the specified time
span. Correspondingly, a time span that is prefixed
with <literal>-</literal> is evaluated to the current
time minus the specified time span. Instead of
prefixing the time span with <literal>-</literal>, it
may also be suffixed with a space and the word
prefixing the time span with <literal>+</literal> or
<literal>-</literal>, it may also be suffixed with a
space and the word <literal>left</literal> or
<literal>ago</literal>.</para>
<para>Finally, a timespan prefixed with
<literal>@</literal> is evaluated relative to the UNIX
time epoch 1st Jan, 1970, 00:00.</para>
