    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    Unix time is defined as the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 (an arbitrarily chosen time based on the creation of the first Unix system), which has been dubbed the Unix epoch. [6] Unix time has historically been encoded as a signed 32-bit integer, a data type composed of 32 binary digits (bits) which represent an ...

    The last modification date stamp (and with DELWATCH 2.0+ also the file deletion date stamp, and since DOS 7.0+ optionally also the last access date stamp and creation date stamp), are stored in the directory entry with the year represented as an unsigned seven bit number (0–127), relative to 1980, and thereby unable to indicate any dates in ...

  4. Epoch (computing) - Wikipedia

    Software timekeeping systems vary widely in the resolution of time measurement; some systems may use time units as large as a day, while others may use nanoseconds.For example, for an epoch date of midnight UTC (00:00) on 1 January 1900, and a time unit of a second, the time of the midnight (24:00) between 1 January 1900 and 2 January 1900 is represented by the number 86400, the number of ...

  5. GPS week number rollover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_week_number_rollover

    The GPS week number rollover is a phenomenon that happens every 1,024 weeks, which is about 19.6 years. The Global Positioning System (GPS) broadcasts a date, including a week number counter that is stored in only ten binary digits , whose range is therefore 0–1,023.

    returns the current time of the system as a time_t value, number of seconds, (which is usually time since an epoch, typically the Unix epoch). The value of the epoch is operating system dependent; 1900 and 1970 are often used. See RFC 868. clock: returns a processor tick count associated with the process timespec_get (C11)

  7. Unix time - Wikipedia

    It was celebrated in Copenhagen, Denmark, at a party held by the Danish UNIX User Group at 03:46:40 local time. Unix time [a] is a date and time representation widely used in computing. It measures time by the number of non-leap seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, the Unix epoch. For example, at midnight on 1 January ...

  8. System time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_time

    For example, the Unix system time 1 000 000 000 seconds since the beginning of the epoch translates into the calendar time 9 September 2001 01:46:40 UT. Library subroutines that handle such conversions may also deal with adjustments for time zones , daylight saving time (DST), leap seconds, and the user's locale settings.

    The first 41 (+ 1 top zero bit) bits convert to decimal as 367597485448. Add the value to the X Epoch of 1288834974657 (in Unix time milliseconds), [ 5 ] the Unix time of the tweet is therefore 1656432460.105 : June 28, 2022 16:07:40.105 UTC.
