Time synchronisation example

I would like to sync the system clock and get unixtimestamps, but I am unsure how to do it.

I already found out, that I have to start with this:

use esp_idf_svc::sntp::EspSntp;

let sntp = EspSntp::new_default().unwrap();

but how do I access the correct time now?

After some searching, I found a solution, which looks like this:

pub fn time() -> i64 {
    let mut timer: time_t = 0;
    unsafe {
        esp_idf_sys::time(&mut timer);
    }
    timer as i64
}

This might be a nice small addition to the examples.
