What is "seconds with milliseconds resolution"

Hello, I'm not sure I really understand the `msec` embedded variable. I'm getting the value back as `1474452771.178` It's described as "seconds with milliseconds resolution", but I'm not sure what that really means (maths isn't a strong skill for me). How do I convert the number into seconds?
