No.  Seconds since the epoch is neither local nor UTC.  It is just an elapsed 
number of seconds since an agreed upon time called the "epoch".  

I would say: "Return the current time as a floating point number representing 
the number of seconds elapsed since the epoch."  Suggestions for a shorter 
formulation that would not change the meaning are welcome.  Maybe "Return the 
number of seconds elapsed since the epoch as a floating point number."
