About Unix Timestamps

What is Unix Time?

Unix time is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It's widely used in programming and computer systems.

  • • Language-independent time representation
  • • No timezone or daylight saving confusion
  • • Easy to perform calculations
  • • Standard across Unix-like systems

Common Use Cases

  • • Database timestamps
  • • API date/time parameters
  • • Log file analysis
  • • Event scheduling systems
  • • Cross-timezone applications
  • • File system timestamps

Year 2038 Problem

32-bit Unix timestamps will overflow on January 19, 2038, at 03:14:07 UTC. Modern systems use 64-bit timestamps to avoid this issue.
